Hello, I'm writing a paper for an Elementary Botany course.  I need 
cited, scientifice information on how Echinacea, Golden Seal Root, and 
Ginger effect the immune system.  Any information or suggestions would be 
most helpful and much appreciated.		Thanks,  Nichole

I good reference book for this would be one of Michael Moore's books, in 
particular, Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West. The native wild ginger 
is written up in his book, Medicinal Plants of the Pacific Northwest but 
I'm not sure where you could find good information on the imported ginger 
that is most often used in cooking and sold in health food stores. 

Good luck with your ethnobotanical search!
