Sunny Mavor: "These days my favorite echinacea. remedy is a glycerin extract of echinacea and Oregon grape root. I use the Oregon grape root instead of goldenseal because of how scarce goldenseal is becoming in the wild. This has worked really well for ear infections in my seven-month-old, 16-pound baby, one time literally working overnight. I recommend it for children over six months old, who have already begun eating solid food. I would not use it in infants or babies who have not eaten solid foods yet. Instead I would give it to the breast-feeding mother so that some of the immune-stimulating properties are carried to the baby in the milk."

Uses: Ear infections.
By far the most versatile herbal antiseptic wash I have ever used is the combination of echinacea, goldenseal, myrrh and calendula in a saline solution base. It was originally developed for the treatment of bed sores by Leah's brother. Subsequently new uses were found. People who have used it never want to be without it; it becomes an indispensable part of your home medicine chest.
