Echinacea purpurea
ABOUT
Echinacea was once used to treat toothaches and gum disease due to its analgesic properties. Also referred to as ‘Snakeroot’ amongst many tribes, it was used to help remedy snakebites and scorpion stings. It can be called, ‘Nature’s Antibiotic’ and reached for whenever an antibiotic would normally be needed.
It can activate the immune system, so it is best taken at the first sign of sickness, helping the body to rid itself of infections. It can stimulate an immune response and can raise white blood counts. If taken in the middle of sickness, the body might become extra tired because it has already been working hard to combat whatever virus your body has. It can be especially helpful for upper respiratory tract infections.
This tincture was crafted with fresh roots. It tingles on the tongue and has a smooth taste going down.
There are countless articles on the benefits of echinacea! Some can be found here:
This is a perfect staple to include in your wellness cabinet!
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Some have had concerns with people with autoimmune diseases taking echinacea as it might tire out the body. I would suggest learning about echinacea and doing your research to see if it is a good fit for your body.
ACTIONS
Analgesic
Antimicrobial
Antiviral
Anti-inflammatory
Anticatarrhal
Vulnerary
Alternative
DOSAGE
1-3 dropperfuls, 3x a day. For infections or sickness, you can try taking a higher dosage as needed.
A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
