Echinacea pallida

Scientific Summary

Echinacea pallida is a flowering herb in the daisy family, commonly harvested as a whole plant or root for use in teas, tinctures, and extracts. It is primarily used to support immune function, reduce the severity and duration of upper‑respiratory infections, and provide mild anti‑inflammatory effects. While it is generally well tolerated, people who are allergic to ragweed pollen or who are on immunosuppressive medications should use it with caution and consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment.
