This week we take a deep dive into the world of echinacea! Learn about the history of echinacea, the echinacea related tweet that went viral years ago, different uses of this herb, proving echinacea's medicinal powers with a rattlesnake venom bite, intro to antibiotic resistance, how echinacea works in the immune system, evidence for use and recommended doses, and side effects and interactions. Halloween is also right around the corner! Your friendly neighbourhood pharmacists explain the origins of black and orange as Halloween's staple colors, how the word "lunatic" is related to the moon, and the significance of spiders! Warning! There is a scary Halloween story so beware! Stay curious, my beautiful friends.
