 Echinacea is known for it's ability to stimulate the body's immune system, helping it to ward off infections and other diseases. Several clinical trials have shown echinacea to be effective, especially if taken at the first signs of an illness.
 Echinacea, the purple coneflower, is the best known and researched herb for stimulating the immune system. Thousands of Europeans and Americans use echinacea preparations against colds and flu, minor infections, and a host of other major and minor ailments. This native American herb has an impressive record of laboratory and clinical research. Thousands of doctors currently use echinacea for treating infectious diseases.
 Echinacea species are native to North America and are distributed throughout the eastern and central U.S. and southern Canada. Three Echinacea species, as noted above, are commercially important sources of phytopharmaceuticals and other medicinal preparations. The most widely accepted taxonomic interpretation of the genus is that of McGregor (1968), under which there are 9 species and two varieties. Formerly considered a variety of Echinacea pallida, E. angustifolia and E. purpurea are treated as separate species by McGregor on the basis of morphological criteria, cultivation and hybridization experiments, and cytological features (Foster, 1991). Studies on commercial preparations of E. angustifolia published before 1987 may therefore be those of E. pallida, or other common adulterants, such as Parthenium integrifolium (Bradley, 1992; Hobbs, 1989).
