Has anyone’s holistic vet given them the ok for Echinacea for their cat?
I read that Echinacea is antibacterial, an antibiotic, an antioxidant, an antiviral, anti-microbial and an antiseptic.

More specifically, I bought a product with 300MG of vitamin C, with 200MG of Echinacea purpurea(5:1 extract from aerial parts) (which the herbal equivalent is 1000MG, and the third ingredient is Andrographis (15:1 leaf extract, 30% andrographolides)(which the herbal equivalent for this is actually 1500MG.) The non-medicinal ingredients are magnesium stearate and gelatin. There are no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, sweeteners, dairy, soy, gluton, or wheat. Does this seem like an ok product for cats?
And has anyone heard of Echinacea for cleaning teeth and for gum disease?
