Echinacea is well-known for its ability to stimulant the immune system, thus being of potential benefit in avoiding and reducing the duration of infection. Echinacea has been shown to elevate white blood cell count and activity, enhance antibody activity, speed migration of white blood cells to areas of infection and boost interferon activity.
