Echinacea (Echinacea augustifolia)
The above ground parts of echinacea help the immune system and can shorten the duration of a cold, and reduce the symptoms like sore throat, cough, and fever. It can also help with UTI and respiratory tract infections. The echinacea root helps with flu like symptoms. (Echinacea pallida lacks the alkamides that Echinacea augustifolia has.)
