How to correctly supplement echinacea? Although echinacea can effectively improve immunity and reduce the chance of human body being attacked by pathogens, long-term stimulation of immunity will cause a kind of pressure on the immune system, which may make the immune system tired, and when it is really faced with infection, it is powerless to fight, so the supplement principle of echinacea is "necessary" only "high dose" and "short time" supplement. Under this supplementary principle, echinacea can definitely play the best health care effect.

When is the "necessary" moment? First, the occurrence of infection, such as the onset of nasal congestion, sore throat, headache and other minor cold symptoms, should be taken immediately, because according to clinical studies found that echinacea can play the greatest effect when the infection has just occurred, once the infection phenomenon is very serious, its effect will be greatly reduced. Another time supplementation is necessary is when you are in a potentially infected environment, such as the whole family has a cold, or the office is full of runny noses and coughs, but you have not yet won the lottery, supplements can reduce the chance of infection.

The principle of general supplementation of echinacea is to take it for two weeks, and it must be taken at least a week later to continue to take it, in order to play the best immune promotion effect, if it is a cold (North America almost takes it as a cold must take herbs, many cold syrups will even be added), generally only five to seven days is enough.
