Can echinacea prevent sepsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Sepsis is a condition in which bacteria circulate throughout the body. Echinacea may stimulate some of your white blood cells to be more active against infection, but it does not prevent breakdown of your barriers to bacterial invasion.
