Any herb that stimulates the immune system is contraindicated, that is it should not be used, if the person has lupus. Echinacea is one to be avoided. Herbs that claim to be immune boosters should also be avoided. The treatment goal in lupus is to suppress the immune system not to stimulate it.

What herbs should people with lupus avoid?
People with lupus should always ask their rheumatologists before taking any herbs, vitamins or alternative treatments. Some herbs that "boost" the immune system, like echinacea, make lupus worse. Lupus patients take immunosuppressive drugs to weaken the immune system and stop it from attacking the healthy self. Some of these are very potent chemotherapies and biologics that can interact in dangerous ways with herbs, some vitamins, and alternative therapies.
