Capsules - 1-2 capsules, 3 times a day. During an infection, you can double these amounts - at the first sign. As an Autumn boost to prevent Winter problems - 1 capsule 3 times a day for 3 months. Drops - There are two types of herbal drops - Tincture, and Fluid Extract (FE). The difference is that 1 litre of FE is equivalent to 1 kilo of Echinacea herb; whereas 1 litre of Tincture is equivalent to 250-300 grammes of herb. In other words - FE is 3-4 times stronger than a Tincture. Some would argue about the benefits of fresh herb in Tincture...etc, etc - but these are the basic facts. We recommend using 10-15 drops of the FE 3 times a day in a little juice or water. Double this if you have any sort of infection. Also, apply the drops externally liberally where you have a cut, spot, or other blemish. THE BEST ANTI-VIRUS HERB Although I have written a lot here about Echinacea angustifloia and external wounds, its reputation as a herb to treat any bacterial - and especially viral - infections is well justified. And you may know, doctors have NO TREATMENT for infections by a virus, apart from innoculations - with their widely documented side-effects. A 'KING' AMONG HERBS I hope you can see that Echinacea is a very, very valuable herb. Use it internally, use it externally; use it in capsules, or in drops. Keep some in the medicine cabinet - you never know when you might need it! Echinacea angustifolia's tremendous popularity is certainly justified - and I have not doubt it will continue for centuries to come. ResourcesProducts:
