Wherever there is pus or red inflammation, Echinacea is sure to be effective. It is perfectly suited to work for even the most severe inflammatory conditions including boils, skin eruptions, acne, sores with pus, venomous bites, gangrene, poison ivy, poison oak and septicemia. Echinacea is an important medicine in the Plains states (including in my area). Traditionally the Native Americans in the region used it to clear the blood of toxins, toxic build up, and venomous bites. Echinacea is best suited to small (3-5 drops of the tincture) doses, frequently throughout the day.<\/p><p>With the primary function of Echinacea to \u201cclear bad blood\u201d. It is indicated when the colors of the skin, discharge or mucus is dusky, bluish or purplish in color, with a low level of inflammation. There may be a putrid smell and a tendency toward sepsis and malignancy. The tongue may appear dirty brown to jet-black. Harvey Felter in his Materia Medica circa 1922 says \u201cthe greater the tendency to lifelessness and dissolution of the tissues and the more pronounced the fetid character of the discharges, the more applicable the use of Echinacea. \u201d This makes Echinacea useful in the treatment of gangrene, boils, ulcerations, malignancies and abscesses, especially when accompanied with a foul discharge. Echinacea has a greater track record for success than any single herbal medicine for snake bites, insect bites and stings. Being the treatment of choice in cases for scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, blood poisoning, and diphtheria.<\/p><p>Several laboratory and animal studies suggest that Echinacea contains active substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant effects. Echinacea stimulates the body\u2019s defenses across a broad spectrum, speeding the response of white blood cells, and the rate of lymphocyte reproduction, helping to neutralize invading bacteria, toxins, proteins, viruses, and molds that can cause us harm.<\/p><p>Echinacea is often marketed to boost the immune system, shorten the duration of the common cold and flu and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever. Echinacea works on the blood and lymph to fight infection through clearing toxic blood. Where ever there is pus or red inflammation, Echinacea will usually work in a few days. It\u2019s recommended, for all sorts of infections including, ear infections (also known as otitis media), sinusitis, hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis), and slow-healing wounds. It is especially useful when acute infection is accompanied by a feeling of extreme exhaustion. These are usually the people that work themselves sick, not taking a vacation or break until they just plain fall ill. Paradoxically if you take Echinacea in too large of a dose for two long, it can bring on the feeling of exhaustion.<\/p><p>When applied topically in a salve or tincture, together with internal ingestion of 5 to 10 drops of the tincture several times a day, Echinacea will help limit swelling and edema and relieve the pain of many problems including hemorrhoids, contusions, arthritis, sprains, insect bites and stings. Echinacea helps heal and protect connective tissues as they heal in both acute and chronic situations. Helping to heal tendons, ligaments and muscle sheaths, makes Echinacea useful in cases of strains, repetitive motion, tendinitis and bursitis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aea333c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aea333c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e55119\" data-id=\"6e55119\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f198606 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f198606\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Preparation Methods & Dosage<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37654c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37654c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To detoxify and to clear \u201cbad blood\u201d use small frequent doses of the Tincture, infusion or decoction.
