Echinacea(pronounced /??k??ne??(i?)?/)is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae.Echinacea has nine species: Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida, Echinacea paradoxa, Echinacea simulata, Echinacea atrorubens, Echinacea sanguinea, Echinacea leevigata, Echinacea tennesseensis. They are endemic to eastern and central North America, where they are found growing in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ?χ?νος(echino), meaning "spiny," due to the spiny central disk. The nine species it contains are commonly called purple coneflowers. Some species are used in herbal medicines (such asEchinacea angustifolia – Narrow-leaf Coneflower, Echinacea purpurea – Purple Coneflower, Eastern Purple Coneflower, and Echinacea palida), some are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. A few species are of conservation concern.

Echinacea is one of the world’s most important medicinal herbs. Research shows that it has ability to raise the body’s resistance to bacterial and viral infections by stimulating the immune system. Echinacea is also antibiotic and help to relieve allergies, and it has been used for centuries to clear skin infection.

Echinacea is popularly believed to be an immunostimulator, stimulating the body's non-specific immune system and warding off infections.

Echinacea angustifoliawas widely used by the North American Plains Indians for its general medicinal qualities. Echinacea was one of the basic antimicrobial herbs of eclectic medicine from the mid 19th century through the early 20th century, and its use was documented for snakebite, anthrax, and for relief of pain. In the 1930s echinacea became popular in both Europe and America as a herbal medicine. Although Native American tribes didn't use echinacea to prevent the common cold, some of the tribes did use echinacea to treat some of the symptoms that could be caused by the common cold: The Kiowa used it for coughs and sore throats, the Cheyenne for sore throats, the Pawnee for headaches, and many tribes used it as an analgesic, including the Sioux from South Dakota.

Echinacea is considered to be the most effective detoxicant in Western herbal medicine for the circulatory, lymphatic and respiratory systems. Its use has also been adopted by Ayurvedic medicine. Plants in this genus were probably the most frequently used of N. American Indian herbal remedies. They had a very wide range of applications and many of these uses have been confirmed by modern science. The plant has a general stimulatory effect on the immune system and is widely used in modern herbal treatments. In Germany over 200 pharmaceutical preparations are made from Echinacea. There has been some doubt over the ability of the body to absorb the medicinally active ingredients orally (intravenous injections being considered the only effective way to administer the plant), but recent research has demonstrated significant absorption from orally administered applications. The roots and the whole plant are considered particularly beneficial in the treatment of sores, wounds, burns etc, possessing cortisone-like and antibacterial activity. The plant was used by N. American Indians as a universal application to treat the bites and stings of all types of insects. An infusion of the plant was also used to treat snakebites. The root is adaptogen, alterative, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, depurative, diaphoretic, digestive, sialagogue. It is harvested in the autumn and dried for later use. One study shows E. purpurea has antidepressant properties in white rats as it increased the stimulating action of L-DOPA. Echinacea is commonly believed to stimulate the immune system.

Like most crude drugs from plant or animal origin, the constituent base for echinacea is complex, consisting of a wide variety of chemicals of variable effect and potency. Some chemicals may be directly antimicrobial, while others may work at stimulating or modulating different parts of the immune system. All species have chemical compounds called phenols, which are common to many other plants. Both the phenol compounds cichoric acid and caftaric acid are present in E. purpurea, other phenols include echinacoside, which is found in greater levels within E. angustifolia and E. pallida roots than in other species. When making herbal remedies, these phenols can serve as markers for the quantity of raw echinacea in the product. Other chemical constituents that may be important in echinacea health effects include alkylamides and polysaccharides.

The Echinacea purpurea Extract used in dietary supplements is derived from the herb of the plant Echinacea purpurea Linn.

Side effects and contraindications

Reported adverse effects of echinacea are primarily allergic in nature and also include anaphylaxis, asthma attacks, thrombocytopenic purpura, leucopenia, abdominal pain, nausea, dysuria, arthralgia, myalgia, and dizziness. These tend to be infrequent, mild, and transient. Echinacea should not be taken by persons with progressive systemic and auto-immune disorders, connective tissue disorders, or related diseases. It should not be used with immunosuppressants or hepatotoxic drugs, and has the potential to interfere with anesthesia.

It should not be used for more than 10 days. The use in children below 1 year of age is contraindicated, because of theoretically possible undesirable effect on immature immune system. The use in children between 1 and 12 years of age is not recommended, because efficacy has not been sufficiently documented although specific risks are not documented. In the absence of sufficient data, the use in pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.

Dosage

•  The typical dose is 300-1000mg per day (usually in 2-5 doses throughout the day).
•  Consult physicians for different condition specifics.

Proponents of echinacea assert that it is not a "one-dose" treatment, and that in order to work effectively, a dose should be taken at the very first sign of a cold symptom. Subsequent doses are called for every two to four hours after the first dose, including during the overnight sleeping period, until the cold symptoms have disappeared.
