Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 You can take echinacea without toxicity forever; however, after six or eight weeks it loses its effect and you have to take a break from it. That is, take it for several weeks, then off a week, then start again. Goldenseal has potential to be toxic, although I don't recall the details. You are definitely in the safe zone if you take it according to package directions. I only take it for up to 10 days for acute conditions. Mostly just use echinacea.
