Extracts of the Echinacea plant are widely used in both Europe and North America to treat the common cold. Echinacea extracts vary in quality and are also obtained from different parts of the plant using different manufacturing techniques. Several good clinical studies have looked at the benefits of Echinacea for the common cold- the conclusion is that Echinacea preparations made from the leaves are only slightly more effective than other extracts.

It is cheaper and more effective than Echinacea
