Properties and composition of the tincture

Nowa­days, echi­nacea is used as an immune boost­er. Stud­ies have shown that echi­nacea acti­vates and enhances the non­spe­cif­ic immune sys­tem, help­ing to elim­i­nate radionu­clides from the body. This can enhance the effec­tive­ness of the fight against bac­te­ria and virus­es, assist in the fight against infec­tious dis­eases, as well as pre­vent the dis­ease. Echi­nacea is not in vain called the “clean­er”. The plant active­ly cleans­es the lym­phat­ic sys­tem, blood, kid­neys and liv­er.
