LifeSource Vitamins Liquid Echinacea & Goldenseal is an acute formula, to be used when either one feels like they are about to come down with a cold/flu (take every couple of hours), or if cold/flu symptoms are already present (take at least 3 times per day until symptoms subside).

Echinacea stimulates innate immunity and excites phagocytosis of the white blood cells in general circulation while Goldenseal and Yerba Mansa stimulate immunity in the respiratory tract to act more vigorously. It will help keep control over undesirable microorganisms.

Goldenseal is indicated for warm and hot immune conditions. In the respiratory, it works best when the mucus is thick, yellow, or green in color. It is an effective remedy for sinus infections. It should only be used when acute or sick. Do not use it for over two weeks. The key active ingredients of Goldenseal include the alkaloids hydrastine and berberine. They exhibit antibacterial action effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sanguis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Berberine is also anti-parasitic, amoebicidal, kills giardia, inhibits smooth muscle contraction, and is anti-inflammatory. It is specific for parasitic infections.

The bitter alkaloids from Goldenseal and Oregon Grape will also increase bile secretion as well as flow by relaxing the bile duct, thus helping in fat digestion. Secondarily, they will increase peristalsis and therefore assist in bowel regularity.

Echinacea & Goldenseal is effective for infections in any mucosal tissue including:

• Respiratory tract (sinus, throat, lung)
• Urinary tract (bladder, kidney, ureter, urethra)
• Digestive tract (whole length)
• Reproductive tract (male and female)

Goldenseal is becoming a threatened plant, so only organically cultivated goldenseal should be used.

Oregon Grape Root has actions similar to Goldenseal but focuses more on liver cleansing and blood purification via liver function. Oregon Grape Root is another berberine source.

Yerba Mansa has actions similar to Goldenseal but is more tonic to inflamed mucosal tissue.

Myrrh and Wild Indigo (Baptisia) are great acute white blood cell stimulants for active infections.
