BOTANICAL NAME: Echinacea purpurea
-
Native American Indian tribes were the first to use the echinacea
root for a variety of ailments and, until the 1800's, it was one of
their best-kept secrets. Around 1870, a German physician formulated a
medicine containing echinacea that became popular in European
households, but it was not until the 1900's that echinacea gained
recognition amongst healers in the west.
As interest in echinacea increased, many scientific studies have been
conducted with the various species. There has been much debate as to
which species is best and which plant part to use e.g. root, tops or
plant juice. Echinacea purpurea root has been chosen for this product because it has been well documented and researched in various studies.
