I take an herbal supplement twice a day called Echinacea. It says it helps boost your immune system and since I started taking it I do feel like I am healthier. Will it hurt to take is everyday? It is in pill form.

According to the Mayo clinic (see link below), Echinacea purpurea has a varied influence on preventing or alleviating illnesses. The safety issues are mostly related to an individual's possible allergic reaction to it (the same as any plant).
If you're already taking it and haven't had a problem, I wouldn't worry. It also seems to be more effective in people over 18 years of age.

I only take it if i am getting sick - but my bottle says 2-3 pills 3 times a day....which i think is a lot -- i just take 3 if i am getting sick as well as drink the tea.....

my teacher used to take the serum every day. i've never understood what it does. so i don't really take it...i'm thinking read the intructions and if you're still wary about it, then have a chat with your doc.
