    To quote the Ride London newsletter  I just received in my inbox “echinacea is effective against flu and the cold sore-causing herpes virus” yet here it says that  “Two studies funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine did not find any help for a cold from echinacea in either children or adults”.

    Which one is fake news?

    Your link also said studies
    Your link also said studies have had mixed results.
    I am not aware of any harm from using it so if you think it works go for it.
