I've, personally, started using echinacea a lot more when I feel a cold or other symptoms of infection creeping into my body. Some mothers wonder at the safety of taking this herbal extract during their pregnancy.
Most main stream health care providers seem to err on the the side of caution. They'll point out that without controlled studies indicating a lack of negative side effects, it's safest to avoid such herbal preparations all together.
Hopefully this research will put more caregivers and mothers at ease in choosing echinacea as one possible line of defence against infections during pregnancy.
