Echinacea Herb-ORGANIC

Botanical Name: Echinacea purpurea
Origin: USA

This bright and resilient herbaceous plant is native to North America, with the common name purple coneflower. Radiant violets and magentas on the petals and in the bulb are captivating. Although we are familiar with the plant’s extensive use for immune support, originally in Europe the plant was known primarily for its topical applications. The name Echinacea is derived from the Greek word echinos which translates to “hedgehog,” referring to the flower’s bulbous spiny seed head.

Echinacea is grown as a perennial, with the aerial portions and root harvested separately. This plant is drought and disease tolerant and is one of the best beneficial insect attractors. Both the leaf and the root are tasty in teas and tinctures. They also can be used topically by macerating the herb material into oil.

Enjoy the aerial portions of this herb in our Be Well Blend, and in our single-origin botanical extract!
