Echinacea-Goldenseal

Description

Supporting your Immune System

The immune system is your first, and most important, defense against disease and illness. It is an intricate network of cells, glands, and chemical mediators that help your body to resist and overcome infection. If your immune system is weakened from stress, poor diet, lifestyle imbalances, or underlying health conditions, you may become more susceptible to illness.

What Is Echinacea-Goldenseal?

Echinacea-Goldenseal is a multi-herb formula that helps to promote a healthy immune response. It contains the well known herbs Echinacea and Goldenseal, along with several other immune-strengthening herbs.  

Both Echinacea and Goldenseal are considered to be 'non-specific' immune modulators, which means that their actions are upon several different components of the immune system, rather than upon a single, specific area. It is this feature which makes them effective against a wider variety of organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Echinacea has been used by native peoples of North America for hundreds of years for promoting a healthy immune system response and helping to overcome infection. More recently, a large body of scientific evidence provides support for its traditional uses and has demonstrated the effectiveness of Echinacea upon immune health. 

Extensive research has gone into determining what the active ingredients in Echinacea are, and how they function. The roots and/or flowers are most often used, and both contain complementary, immunosupportive compounds.

Some of its major active constituents include:

• polysaccharides (considered to be immunomodulating)
• phytosterols
• phenols (cichoric, caffeic, and caftaric acids; echinacoside)
• alkylamides

Research has demonstrated that these plant compounds exert a natural, antibiotic-like action in the body. They support the production of white blood cells including T-cells, a group of immune cells that are especially important for defending against viruses. 

Contrary to popular belief, Echinacea is safe for long-term use and will not decrease immune response when taken over time. This myth arose from a misinterpretation of a study that was done about 40 years ago, when it was translated (from German) into English. 

Goldenseal root contains alkaloids such as berberine and hydrastine, two powerful natural antibiotics. These compounds help to resist infection by activating white blood cells and exerting an antibacterial action upon mucous membranes, in particular. Widespread use has, however, resulted in overharvesting of Goldenseal plants from the wild; Natural Wellbeing uses only Goldenseal from commercially cultivated sources, to ensure sustainability.

Additional immune-supportive herbs in this formula include Yerba Mansa, excellent for decreasing inflammation of the mucous membranes, along with Oregon Grape, Licorice, Red Root and several others. Like Goldenseal, Oregon Grape contains the alkaloid berberine which has a powerful, natural antimicrobial action. Licorice provides expectorant action that facilitates release of congested mucous, and Red Root is a powerful lymphatic decongestant that helps ensure removal of toxins and other byproducts of infection.

What can Echinacea-Goldenseal be used for?

Echinacea has been traditionally used for fever, cough, runny nose, seasonal illness and other infections, and has a vast number of scientific studies supporting its immune system benefits. Goldenseal has also been used for supporting the immune system by providing a natural antibiotic effect, particularly against bacteria and fungi. These two plants, along with others in Echinacea-Goldenseal, work together synergistically to provide full-spectrum action and faster results.
