I was recommended echinacea some while ago so I gave it a pop. I take it along with slow release vit C after suffering for years with colds and especially cold sores when run down.
The improvement I personally found was unreal. In just over 12 months I have not suffered from a cold sore and when I start feeling the throat tingle dry and sneezing it never actually materialises into the full blown dreaded manflu.
I do 4 weeks on a week off so if you suffer from either then give it a try, here's a read from some years ago I drop on when searching about echinacea
BBC NEWS | Health | Echinacea 'can prevent a cold'
Does anyone else take it ?, like I said it works far better if doubled up with vit C
