CONCLUSION

 

Echinacea has been shown to stimulate macrophages through the MAP kinase signaling pathway. This is important evidence of the immunostimulatory properties of Echinacea, which include activating macrophages, resulting in cytokine production and increased phagocytic abilities. Such evidence is a solid base for further research into the potential of Echinacea as an immunotherapeutic compound.
