New Evidence Shows Echinacea Does Work
A few years ago the media triumphantly pronounced that Echinacea was ineffective, after a poorly designed study involving low-quality echinacea and an extremely artificial situation environment was released.
A new report, however, presents strong evidence to the contrary. Researchers examined the results of 14 previous studies. They found that echinacea cut the risk of catching a cold by an impressive 58% and shortened the cold’s duration by 1.4 days on average.
Seattle Times Article - Good overview of the new study.
Dr. Foster Piece - Well known MD argues that the original study was biased.
