Description

There is little evidence regarding toxicity with echinacea, despite its widespread use. Echinacea has not been associated with acute or chronic toxic effects. However, individuals with hepatic impairment should use echinacea with caution, as case reports of hepatotoxicity exist. Scientific Family On top of reports of the plant’s highly nutritious extracts, we’ve learned that the portion of the plant that grows above ground is the most effective. Interestingly, in Germany, dietary herbs are regulated by the government, and above ground parts of the Echinacea purpurea species are actually approved as natural remedies for preventing and treating urinary tract infections, upper respiratory tract infections, colds and slow-healing wounds.

There was some concern that echinacea could interact with conventional cancer treatments, such as doxorubicin, but older studies have found no interaction ( 29, 30). Remember that Echinacea has not been studied in children, so side-effects specific to the pediatric population are unknown. A recent study does suggest that Echinacea and some other commonly used herbs may be harmful to cells of the reproductive system, but this effect is only seen after very high doses of the herb are present. Furthermore, it seems as if sperm cells are the target of these harmful effects, so pre-pubertal boys would not be at risk because they have not yet begun to produce sperm.

However, echinacea extract appears to have a short shelf life, making it difficult to incorporate into commercial skin care products. May offer protection against cancer CONTINUOUS USE: There is also research that shows there is NO NEED to periodically go off Echinacea to keep it effective. You can decide. Thankfully, as explained by the University of British Columbia, regular echinacea consumption can effectively reverse and alleviate various types of inflammation. Another study, this one published in Virus Research, evaluated the effects of echinacea against viral and secondary bacterial infections that often follow. Plant extracts were able to fight viral respiratory infections, including the flu, while also reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of developing bacterial complications.

In 2 small studies, no impact of echinacea on docetaxel( Goey 2013) or etravirine( Moltó 2012) pharmacokinetics was found; however, a case report describes an interaction with etoposide.( Bossaer 2012) Due to upregulation of CYP1A2 (caffeine) and CYP3A4 (midazolam), effects on therapeutic agents such as amitriptyline, haloperidol and olanzapine, theophylline and zileuton, efavirenz and nevirapine, tamoxifen, and etoposide have been suggested.( Awortwe 2015, Grappe 2014) Echinacea was less active in inhibiting CYP2C8 enzyme activity (metabolism of antihyperglycemic agents) than were 2 of the 6 other plants tested (ie, cranberry, saw palmetto).( Albassam 2015) The primary outcome was the cumulative number of days with cold symptoms during the 4-month prevention. Cold days were defined as any day on which cold symptoms were recorded anything other than “absent”. The ratio of cumulative cold days (F VitC/F EFJ) in both groups was compared with the ratio of the corresponding patient numbers in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population (N VitC/N EFJ). The χ 2-distribution was used to test whether F VitC/F EFJ and N VitC/N EFJ differed significantly between the applied treatments (level of significance α=0.05, two-sided). Presuming comparable group sizes (N VitC/N EFJ≈ 1) and a difference in cold days of F VitC/F EFJ=1.15 a sample size of N=200 was sufficient to demonstrate superiority of EFJ over VC on basis of α<0.05 with a power of β>80%. Some patients entered the trial with active cold symptoms, which were however not included in the analysis. In another older test-tube study, extracts from echinacea plants ( Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, and Echinacea pallida) killed human cancer cells from the pancreas and colon by stimulating a process called apoptosis, or controlled cell death ( 27).

Both groups required fewer antibiotics, and those taking 5 tablets daily experienced shorter cold duration than those taking 3 tablets.

More about echinacea

Echinacea is a member of the Compositae family (also called the Asteraceae family), which is native to eastern and central North America. "Kansas snakeroot" or "snakeroot" should not be confused with white snakeroot (Ageratina altissima). USDA 2020 There are at least 9 species of echinacea, with E. purpurea, E. pallida, and E. angustifolia most commonly used for medicinal purposes. Ross 2001, USDA 2020 Because of the difficulty in identifying echinacea species, much of the early European research, particularly regarding E. angustifolia, may have actually been conducted on E. pallida. WHO 1999 When considering the use of herbal supplements, seek the advice of your doctor. You may also consider consulting a practitioner who is trained in the use of herbal/health supplements. The safety of Echinacea was very good with very low numbers of adverse events thought possibly related to study medication, and no differences between EFJ and VC control in this respect was found. The overall number of adverse events was significantly ( p=0.016) lower with EFJ than with vitamin C, consistent with the reduction of RTIs, complications of RTIs and antibiotic usage. An increased risk for rashes (7.1 vs 2.7%) was reported [ 15] for an Echinacea pressed-juice preparation, however this was not observed for the hydroethanolic extract used in the current study with 1.9 and 2.0% for EFJ and VC, respectively.
