When I was RRMS and in the inflammatory stage, I was told not to take echinacea and astragalus root. I can't remember exactly why as it was years ago.
Here is an entire pamphlet to read by the NMSS about vitamins, minerals and herbs for people living with MS:

I think the reason against Echinacea is because stimulates the immune system and our immune system is already confused. I believe that Dr Allen Bowling ( the MS guru of CAMs ) suggests that he considers it to be a "theoretical risk".Last edited by Mamabug; 07-23-2018, 12:09 PM.~ Faith
