How to Use

Take 20–30 drops under the tongue or in a little juice or water, up to 2–3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Echinacea is traditionally used in short courses rather than continuously — a typical traditional protocol is 1–2 weeks on, followed by a break, particularly in the context of acute immune support. Consult your healthcare practitioner for guidance on appropriate use duration.

Precautions

Not recommended for long-term continuous use without practitioner guidance. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have an autoimmune condition or are taking immunosuppressant medications. Allergy warning: Echinacea belongs to the Asteraceae (daisy) family — those with known allergies to Asteraceae plants should exercise caution.
