For Cold Symptoms "I have been using echinacea for years. The moment I feel a cold coming on or feel run down, I take this product (400 mg). I take three in the morning and three at night for approximately four days. Everything clears up and you feel overall so much better. I highly recommend this product, it really works!"

For Cold Symptoms "I had an upper respiratory infection, including yellow-green phlegm and a nasty sore throat from all of the sinus drip. My naturopath prescribed a capsule mix of echinacea and goldenseal that I took 4 times a day for one week, and poof, my sinus/respiratory infection was gone. In the past, I've always taken antibiotics for these kinds of sinus problems that crop up in the wintertime, but I'm glad to have found a more natural alternative that returns some needed vitamins and nutrients to my body while ridding me of a nasty condition."

For Cold Symptoms "Very effective. I am recommending it to everyone. First time I took it 12 years ago while having a very bad cold, and after 2 days, I was okay. Since then, we use echinacea as a preventative measure against colds and have not had one cold."

For Cold Symptoms "OMG! Totally amazing med. Had a humdinger of a cold on Friday, came all of a sudden during this now present flu season. I took pills around the clock all day/night, on Saturday. By Sunday, my cold was all gone and draining all from my nose instead of my chest. Not only did it take away my awful cold, I got energy from where I do not know. This med was very effective."

For Condylomata Acuminata "I got genital warts about 2 years ago. Ever since taking echinacea 3 times a day, which equals 9 pills, it has totally cleared up the disease. The doctor said I am cured. Plus, I have not had one single bout of the flu. I love this herb!"

For Cold Symptoms "I had a very cold and sore throat. For the first day, I took 2 pills before bedtime. Surprised me, next day I felt fresh and not dizzy. I continued 1 pill 3 times a day for 3 days. The cold symptoms were gone. Thanks to the pharmacist who advised me."

For Cold Symptoms "Thank you for balanced information. My mother (77) learned purple coneflower from her grandmother. It still grows in our gardens for tea or infusions (upper chest poultice in grave situations), but not on a long-term basis (more than a week), nor unless definitive symptoms have appeared - in the individual or several household members/frequent visitors. Not even those allergic to ragweed have ever had an adverse reaction."

For Cold Symptoms "Echinacea & Goldenseal works wonders for me. I am a 45-year-old woman and have sinus problems all the time. Every year I am on antibiotics. This year I started taking Echinacea & Goldenseal. In one week I am much better."

For Cold Symptoms "Anyone who knows me knows I will not shut up about this medicine. I haven't had a full-blown cold in years. At the very first sign of a cold, I take two pills or use the drops, and the symptoms are masked. It's important to still look after yourself as if you are ill, but you will never feel the full force of a cold again! Thank you to my sister who was banging on about this medication. It's a good thing I didn't write it off as just one of her fads!"

For Herbal Supplementation "I started taking Echinacea as a recommendation from my doctor 3 months ago. Two weeks into taking it, I started feeling sick, high anxiety, sweats, shortness of breath, had no idea it was the Echinacea. Several trips to the ER for treatment, COVID-19 tests. Was diagnosed with a URI. 3 months later, still feeling awful. Again, several trips to the ER. Realized what I was doing different: the Echinacea! Stopped taking it! 5 days, and I am feeling better, not 100%, but can definitely feel a dif. Please, please, please, this Echinacea is not as great as they make it sound. Be very careful."

For Herbal Supplementation "I took one dose of echinacea and have been feeling bad for three days. Since it’s a supplement, I didn’t think there would be side effects… I was wrong! I have been nauseous and having extremely bad breath. I hope it gets out of my system soon because I’m so tired of feeling like this."
