Prevents Colds & Flu

Echinacea glycerite is used mainly to prevent infection in children.  As per the North American tradition, Clef des Champs use echinacea roots to make this extract because they contain more active principles than the aerial parts.  This compound is particularly efficient because it is made from two species of echinacea, E. purpurea and E. angustifolia, which contain complementary active principles.  Many of echinacea's constituents support the immune system and increase the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens.  Studies have shown that the proper use of echinacea decreases the frequency of bacterial and viral infections.  It can also be used as a treatment to reduce the intensity of infections, which reduces the risk of complications.  The antibacterial and antiviral properties of this extract, as well as its capacity to activate the immune system, help the body fight infection efficiently.

One of the main actions of echinacea is to inhibit hyaluronidase, an enzyme which degrades hyaluronic acid.  An increased amount of hyaluronic acid increases the integrity of the tissues, thereby slowing the propagation of pathogens.  The alkylamides contained in echinacea inhibit the inflammation of the mucus membranes and significantly reduce symptoms of cold and flu.  Its analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions help releive sore throat and muscle pain and reduce nasal drip.

Use for: recurring infections, immune tonic, cold, flu, ear ache, sinusitis, respiratory tract infection, sore throat, tonsilitis, laryngitis, viral infection (herpes, mononucleosis).
