Echinacea is a very safe herb for children as well as adults.
People who should not take it are transplant patients and those on immuno-suppressive therapy.
Echinacea can be taken both short and long term. There is no reason for the latest fad of taking it on a staggered basis.
Dosage: Take 20 drops of Swiss Herbal Remedies Echinacea tincture, three times daily, before meals. Mix with a little water. This dosage can be doubled if you need to take more drastic action in stubborn infections.
