Best Answer

Echinecea (aka coneflower) is a herb. It is mainly used as an antibiotic, often alonside Golden Seal (another herbal antibiotic).

Echinecea has a very strange effect on the tongue in that it causes a slight numbing sensation when in contact with the mouth. It is very pleasant.

Echinecea can cut the chances of catching a cold in half, and can shorten the length of a cold already in force.

It is known as an immunostimulator, and can treat chronic respiratory infections, prostatitis (Saw Palmetto is also good for this), and polyarthritis (rheumatoid arthritis) and can be used to treat a sore and ulcerated throat and mouth, and topically for wound healing and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Echinecea is antiseptic, antibiotic, antibacterial, preventative, immunostimulant, etc. It is able to fight both Viral, and Bacterial problems.

What are the cures for bronchitis?

As most bronchial infections are viral in origin, running to the doctor for antibiotics is not recommended right away. First try 3-4 cups of fresh grated ginger tea a day. Ginger has an antibiotic and antiviral effect and great at removing mucous. Drink plenty of fluids and steam as much as possible. To build resistence try taking spirulina capsles and echinecea. Try to sleep in a room with enough humidity as that lessens the cough and make sure you elevate the bed or build up with pillows to keep your head elevated. Sleeping on your side is better than on your back and you will sleep more restful. Bring a glass of water to with you and when you start coughing in the night, usually sipping a bit of water will calm the coughing down somewhat. Of course this is recommended only for a couple of days but if the cough is worse, you have fever, and you are not getting better make the appointment with the doctor.
