Echinacea in the garden: beautiful, but effect as supplement uncertain

Echinacea is a well-known plant in gardens, but according to deCheckers, its effect as a supplement is not proven. The plant is often used against colds, but there is no clear evidence that it actually works.

DeCheckers emphasizes that there is little scientific evidence for the effectiveness of echinacea supplements. It is possible that the plant has a placebo effect, but this is not certain.

Nevertheless, echinacea remains popular as a garden plant. The flowers are beautiful and attract bees and butterflies. As a supplement, however, the effect remains doubtful.
