Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I know that Doc's 100% Organic Echinacea was just pressed and bottled. He makes his tinctures to perfection and you will find no higher quality Echinacea on the market. Just incase you ever want some here is their number, #727-447-5282 Echinacea Info One of the most popular herbs in America today is the Native American medicinal plant called Echinacea. Named for the prickly scales in its large conical seed head, the herb resembles the spines of an angry hedgehog (echinos is Greek for hedgehog). Results of archaeological digs indicate that Native Americans may have used Echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a general "cure-all." Throughout history people have used Echinacea to treat scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, blood poisoning, and diphtheria. Although this herb was popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, its use began to decline in the United States after the introduction of antibiotics. Echinacea preparations became increasingly popular in Germany throughout the 20th century. In fact, most of the scientific research on Echinacea has been conducted in Germany. Today, people use Echinacea to shorten the common cold and flu and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever. Many herbalists also recommend Echinacea to help boost the immune system and help the body fight infections. What It Is Used For * Echinacea has traditionally been used to treat or prevent colds, flu, and other infections. * Echinacea is believed to stimulate the immune system to help fight infections. * Less commonly, Echinacea has been used for wounds and skin problems, such as acne or boils and to deaden the pain of a tooth ache or sore gums. How It Is Used The leaves and roots of Echinacea are used fresh or dried to make teas, squeezed (expressed) juice, extracts, or preparations for external use. ~Bryan kendee connor wrote: Can a person who is allergic to daisies use this formula? Isn't Echinecia made from daisies? Doc Shillington <DocShillington wrote: Instead of using ounces, use tablespoons or teaspoons for smaller amounts. Shelf life is from one to two years on this product. Longer if you keep it sealed and in a dark place. People use it for a mouth wash and a gargle when diluted with distilled water. You can use it straight on the teeth and gums = a very strong and potent tasting formula when used straight. To make your own toothpaste, mix the T & G Formula with a little baking soda, and you have a toothpaste that is second to none. Period!!!
