Echinacea augustofolia

Echinacea was called the Sacred Plant by the Native Americans: it was used to treat snakebite, fevers, and old wounds. Early settlers began to use it for colds and 'flu. Today, it is known for its antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties [ Pharmacological studies have demonstrated immuno-stimulant, bacteriostatic, and anti-viral properties]. It has been used in AIDS therapy, for kidney infections, and for inflammations.
All parts of the plant are medicinally important and have some activity.

As a sore throat gargle:
