Echinacea for Horses and Dogs

What is Echinacea Pallida?

Echinacea Pallida is a common plant, particularly in North America, with purple or white flowers, which grow to a height of approximately 3 feet. It is sometimes referred to as the coneflower and has been used for centuries as a treatment for colds, flu and general infections. With increasing attention being given to immune deficiency diseases, Echinacea Pallida is becoming a significant and important substance, which is attracting considerable research time.

How does Echinacea Pallida work?

Echinacea Pallida acts as a stimulant to 'effector calls' (effector cells work against ALL foreign, invading microbes and are non-selective) and thus increases the activity of the entire immune system. Certain species of Echinacea Pallida have been found to stimulate the production of interferon and increase the activity of macrophages (one of the major cells responsible for the destruction of invading microbes).

The benefits of Echinacea for horses and dogs

Echinacea supplements can be particularly beneficial for dogs and horses, helping to bolster their immune systems and improve resistance to infections. Its natural properties may assist in reducing the severity and duration of illnesses, making it a valuable addition to your pet’s wellness routine. Additionally, echinacea can support overall vitality and health, which is crucial for active and ageing animals alike. As with any supplement, it’s important to consult with a veterinarian before introducing echinacea into your pets' diets to ensure appropriate dosage and safety.
