As always, be an informed consumer in whatever you do :) What it means is that echinacea ENHANCES natural resistance.

In other words it boosts your immune system but only in the short term.

If you take echinacea for a prolonged period then eventually it may start doing the opposite and it may actually weaken your immune system.

Echinacea is OK for short term use but totally unsuitable for long term use. That means it boosts your ability to resist sicknesses, like colds.

It strengthens your immune system. Hi c'mon, yes all correctly "SUPPORTS NATURAL RESISTANCE", in other words the echinacea herb is a stimulant for the immune system. The herb boosts the ability of macrophages (infection fighting white blood cells) to fight off invading germs. When taking the echinacea herb as part of your herbal medicine regime, infections cased by viruses, bacteria and fungus will heal much faster than without it.

Also you know, that the Indians used the mashed roots on everything from wounds to snakebites. It was used as a mouthwash to help with painful teeth and gums. They brewed Echinacea herbs as teas for colds and other maladies, like measles and arthritis. The Indians prized this herb for its value in herbal medicine. They thought that the echinacea herb was a blood purifier.
