Hi Connie, yes it seems that it should be used  "on an on / off schedule..."
as you read. However the schedule varies with the supplier -

"Suggested Use:... For best results, use 5-7 days and then discontinue
for 5-7 days. Continue this cycle."

Another source stated -  "Limit use to 8 consecutive weeks."

Still another states- "After taking echinacea for 6 to 8 weeks,
a 2 week break is recommended before restarting use for
best results."

CAUTION: Not intended for individuals with impaired
auto-immune conditions

Jack

But 3 or 4 other suppliers made on such dossage distinctions.
