Echinacea

More About Echinacea Supplements

Echinacea is one of the most popular herbs used to support your health. A perennial plant that grows primarily in the Midwestern region of North America, Echinacea has tall stems and a single pinkish purple flower with a spiky seedhead in the center that is usually purple or brown. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek word echinos, which means “hedgehog” and refers to the seedhead. Echinacea has been used for centuries by Native American tribes to support overall health and promote immune system function. Echinacea also became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe, particularly in Germany, where it was studied for its health supportive properties.

Today, echinacea is primarily used to support immune system health and function, although it is also used to support healthy internal response. This is because echinacea contains a number of potentially beneficial substances like polysaccharides, glycoproteins, volatile oils, and flavonoids. Echinacea can be taken as a more traditional capsule or softgel, but it is also available as a liquid extract and also as a tea, so it’s easy to find the option that’s right for you.
