About This Product
Commonly know as ‘coneflower’, Echinacea can be found growing as a wildflower primarily in the prairies, the Midwest states, and as far south as Texas. Today this flower is not only an ornamental in many gardens, but also a cultivated herb with its beautiful flowing rows of purplish blossoms. Of the several varieties of echinacea, the three most popular are purpurea, angustifolia and pallida. They are harvested for their roots, flower-heads, seeds, or juice of the whole plant and can then be made into capsules, extracts, tinctures, and tea. We offer the purpurea flower tops. Echinacea is best known for its use in homeopathy as an immune enhancer. It is caffeine-free and blends easily with other herbs or teas.
Ingredients: 100% Organic Echinacea Purpurea Leaves.
