Charms and Harms: Echinacea
Journal of Primary Health Care, 06/17/09

The limited data available indicate that echinacea preparations are generally well-tolerated, although allergic reactions may occur. As with other herbal medicines, echinacea products differ in their pharmaceutical quality, and the implications of this for efficacy and safety should be considered.
