Echinacea is a beautiful flower and powerful medicine to grow in your garden.
Have you ever paid close attention to pharmaceutical
ads on TV? They all seem to follow the
same script: happy people feeling good, maybe some puppies and sunshine thrown
in for extra measure, all distracting you from the very fine print that rolls
across the screen. The fine print warns
you of all the side effects you could potentially suffer. We usually end up getting new prescriptions
just to deal with the side effects of other prescriptions. It can be a vicious cycle.
We all may need to take prescription drugs at some
point in our lives, but shouldn’t we avoid their side effects if we can? If there is a natural alternative that is
just as effective with fewer side effects, shouldn’t we try it before we get
hooked on the hard stuff?
