In European and North American herbal medicine, echinacea is traditionally used in courses rather than on an ongoing basis. It is most often chosen during periods of increased seasonal strain — in autumn and winter — as well as at times of overtiredness or after a demanding period at work.
What is important to understand about the regimen:
- Course-based approach. For this raw material, the duration of use is 1 month; if necessary, the course can be repeated 3–4 times a year. Long-term continuous use without a break is not intended.
- Alternating with other herbs. The natural raw-material format is particularly convenient for those who put together home herbal blends and alternate different plants according to the season.
- Individual approach. The optimal course length depends on the specific situation and state of health. If you plan to use echinacea for longer than a one-month course or to repeat the course more often than 3–4 times a year, it makes sense to discuss this with a doctor or herbalist.
