Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 You know, I can tell you it's not one of the legal beverage teas. Yes, I do see that she's allowed echinacea as legal, but I think she meant in a medicinal dose, as needed for colds, etc.... temporarily. BUT, with that said, in our recent discussions about mucilaginous herbs, which are illegal, I noticed that echinacea is included in that list. <<Herbs in this classification include althea, aloe, burdock, comfrey, dandelion, echinacea, fenugreek, kelp, psylium, slippery elm, dulse, glucomannan from Konjak root, Irish moss, and mullein. >> So... I am confused and not sure what to tell you. I have to assume that Elaine would have known it was classified as such, but am just not sure.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Elaine's coments regarding echinacea. http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages?id=247298#247298 The legal echinacea is the homeopathic type - the actual herb is illegal. The homeopathic dilution, I would doubt, could hurt anyone but why use it if you have reservations? http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages?id=250234#250234 Echinacea is OK as a homepathic therapy. I do think that even a tincture may present problems but, obviously, it will be better than the whole herb. of the Long Island List said it gave her one of the worst flares she ever had. After reading about 's experience,Elaine wrote: http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages?id=247010#247010 Turet just wrote that she was surprised that I had allowed Echinacea to be considered " legal. " Here is my reply: <<<Echinacea in alcohol solution has been changed to legal. But if we continue to get negative reports on it, we will take it off. If I hear anymore reports on echinacea, we will take it off. Thank you > Okay, well...until I know for sure, I won't drink it.
