Echinacea Purpurea Root, Cut & Sifted, Organic

Echinacea purpurea root is widely used for the common cold, viruses, and to reduce symptoms of sore throat, cough, and fever. In Germany its use is approved for treating urinary tract infections and slow-healing wounds. It is also thought to improve immunity, calm anxiety, and reduce inflammation.

Echinacea was used by many Native American populations throughout the United States. This widespread use was adopted by the Eclectic physicians in the US and was documented in medical texts until 1947. A German pharmaceutical manufacturer imported Echinacea purpurea to Germany in the 1930's, and since then, German and American scientists have been researching the clinical usefulness of the herb with an emphasis on supporting the immune system. This herb is popular both in Europe and in the US. This high quality echinacea is organically grown and full of active constituents.

Herbalists have observed that all good quality echinacea products cause a mild tingling sensation in the mouth. This is due to the alkylamides, which are recognized for their biological effect on the immune system.

As a result of many clinical trials that were done in the 1990s, echinacea sales account for approximately 10% of the dietary supplement market. Many clinical trials are still being conducted today.
