Echinacea purpurea naturally regulates immunity

People live in a complex environment full of challenges: bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites These pathogens are always on the verge of endangering our health However, the human body itself has a strong army, which is strong against the invasion of foreign enemies This is the immune system Many eating habits and living habits will affect the strength of the army, which is why some people are often ill, while others are very resistant In this issue, we are going to introduce Echinacea, a kind of plant that nature gives us and can naturally enhance our immunity The immune system, the magic army in the body, has been threatened by all kinds of germs since human was born If the human body does not have a complete and effective defense system against all kinds of attacks, human beings will no longer exist In addition to our body's natural barrier tissues, such as skin, mouth and intestinal mucosa, the defense system in human body also has a set of specific defense system, which is what we call "immune system" The ability of this system to defend against attack is "immunity" And it is the immune system, the magic army, that ensures human health What is the power of this magical army? The immune system has three main functions First, defense and resistance: when encountering foreign invasion, immune cells will produce antibodies to maintain health, just like soldiers take out swords and guns to kill enemies Second, elimination and stability: immune cells will remove the body's waste, which includes aging dead cells, enemy bodies, foreign impurities, such as: phlegm, pus, etc Third, monitoring and repair: immune cells will instantly repair the damaged tissues of the body and remove the rebellious cells, such as wound healing, cancer prevention, etc The strength of immunity is affected by many factors The first is age There are two stages of low immunity in life, namely, children's stage and old age stage Children's immune system is not mature, the function is not perfect, the immunity is low; but the function of the old body organ is declining, the ability to obtain nutrition is declining, and the immune organ is gradually atrophic, which leads to the decline of immunity Therefore, we see that every influenza outbreak, children and the elderly, always bear the brunt of the victims, they are the two most vulnerable to infection Secondly, poor lifestyle and habits, long-term mental tension, malnutrition, lack of exercise or sleep, frequent smoking, drinking a lot of alcohol, etc., will inhibit the immune system and reduce the combat effectiveness of this army Third, environmental pollution, abuse of antibiotics and other drugs, radiation and other factors will inhibit our immune system If the immunity is destroyed, it will bring a series of serious consequences: weakness, malnutrition, mental depression, fatigue, loss of appetite, sleep disorders and so on Cold, diarrhea, tonsillitis and other minor problems will also occur frequently It is common for people to get sick, get injection and take medicine It takes a long time to recover every time they get sick, and they often recur In the long run, it will lead to physical and mental dysplasia, and also easy to induce major diseases Echinacea vs cold medicine Echinacea has a remarkable effect on fighting cold Let's see, echinacea and cold medicine PK results! First round, active ingredients The effective components of Echinacea purpurea are extracted from natural Echinacea purpurea, while the cold medicine is chemically synthesized Second round, side effects Echinacea purpurea: a large number of population experiments and laboratory tests have shown that it has no toxic and side effects on human body, and even infants can eat it at ease; cold medicine: there are general side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal discomfort, loss of appetite, dry mouth, hepatorenal toxicity, etc Third round, way of action Echinacea purpurea: all components work together and can be treated simultaneously; cold medicine: relieve symptoms and target no cure In the fourth round, the influence after deactivation Echinacea: cold symptoms disappeared or weakened, immunity enhanced Cold medicine: cold symptoms disappear or weaken, immunity is reduced Echinacea activate your immunity Echinacea, also known as Echinacea, echinacea, Compositae, perennial herbs Echinacea cone has spikes that look like hedgehogs This is actually why Echinacea gets its name: echinos is the Greek word for hedgehog As early as the 17th century, Native Americans began to use Echinacea They use the plant to treat snake bites, gum and mouth disease, colds, coughs, septicemia, sore throats, gastrointestinal pain It has also historically been used to treat scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, septicemia and diphtheria Throughout the 19th century, it was the most widely used plant in the United States, used by traditional doctors and naturopaths In the 20th century, Echinacea began to prevail in Germany, and quickly swept the world Before the discovery of antibiotics, Echinacea was used to treat infection and trauma for more than 400 years Until the 1940s, it remained on the official list of plants used in the United States until antibiotics replaced it Echinacea has great benefits for the immune system, the powerful magic army in the body Echinacea can stimulate the proliferation of immune cells, which is equivalent to increasing the size of the army; at the same time, it can also stimulate the activity of immune cells, just like upgrading the weapons of the army, turning "millet plus rifle" into a missile A large number of studies have shown that Echinacea purpurea has excellent anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects Studies have shown that Echinacea purpurea contains a variety of natural plant effective components, which are slightly different according to different parts The main effective components in the root of Echinacea purpurea are flavonoids, which have the effect of antioxidation and killing free radicals; the main effective components in the flower stem and leaf are polysaccharides (which can improve the immunity of the body), flavonoids (antioxidation), volatile oil (antibacterial and antiviral), caffeic acid derivatives (which can eliminate free radicals and alleviate leukopenia) Therefore, the root of Echinacea purpurea can mainly prevent influenza, while the flower stem and leaf part can reduce upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, promote wound healing and treat various colds Effective nutrition prescription many studies have confirmed that Echinacea has many health benefits, in the face of many diseases, it is a true nutrition prescription 1 Enhance the function of immune system and effectively resist the infection of bacteria and virus Echinacea can improve the activity of macrophages, which can greatly enhance the lethality of macrophages to bacteria, viruses or other sources of infection or even cancer cells; it can also promote the production of interferon and help the human body to fight against virus attacks, such as cold and flu In particular, Echinacea can enhance the activity of NK (natural killer) cells, a kind of immune cells At the early stage of the disease, Echinacea supplement can obviously improve cold, cough and streptococcal laryngitis 2 Improve acne inflammation Clinical experiments showed that the effect of 4 g or 1 teaspoon Echinacea purpurea on inflammation was equivalent to that of 100 mg cortisone In addition, Echinacea ointment can be applied on acne to protect the damaged skin from sunlight 3 Against Candida infection German studies have shown that Echinacea enhances macrophage activity and increases the overall number of immune cells, which helps to avoid inflammation caused by Candida infection At the same time, Echinacea can also improve people with chronic fatigue syndrome, because Candida infection usually causes or accompanies the emergence of this syndrome.
