Infection Decoction
A simmered echinacea root decoction is a traditional supportive drink at the first sign of feeling run-down — it does not treat a diagnosed infection.
What you'll need
- 1 tbsp dried echinacea root
- 2 cups water
Steps
- Simmer echinacea root in water for 20 minutes.
- Strain and drink warm.
Important: A suspected bacterial infection — fever, spreading redness, pus — needs medical evaluation, not just herbal support.
