- Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea or Echinacea augustifolia) is my mainstay anti-infective.
- Lomatium (Lomatium dissectum) is a specialty herb with broad-spectrum abilities.
- Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is not recommended.Poke
- (Phytolacca americana) kicks the immune system into high gear.
- Usnea (Usnea barbarata) is a lichen that counters deep-seated infections.
- Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) says she runs a “school of self defense.”
I rely on echinacea root tincture, poke root tincture, and yarrow flower tincture for ninety-nine percent of all infections that I deal with. Occassionally I make use of usnea, and lomatium. I have used goldenseal only once in forty years of practice – externally, at that.
