Hi everyone , I have cutaneous lupus and Sjogrens . Just came down with a terrific cold. My dr told me to buy airborne . I was looking at ingredients and it has echinecea. I have heard in the past that if you have lupus or autoimmune diseases that you should not take echinecea . Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated .
