Organic Echinacea Root

Organic Echinacea Root – Tea Cut Echinacea purpurea

Organic Echinacea Root is prepared from the root of Echinacea purpurea, grown in the USA and cut specifically for herbal preparation. One of North America's best-known traditional herbs, echinacea has a long history of use and remains especially popular during cold and flu season.

Echinacea is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections and the common cold and to support immune function.

A North American Herbal Tradition

Echinacea is native to North America and has a particularly important history of use among Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains and surrounding regions. Different Echinacea species and plant parts were traditionally prepared for a variety of purposes before the plant became widely adopted into North American and European herbal practice.

Rather than referring broadly to “American Indians,” we recognize this history as part of the diverse herbal knowledge of Indigenous North American peoples.

Why Echinacea Root?

Echinacea products may be made from the root, aerial portions or combinations of different plant parts and species. Our product is specifically Echinacea purpurea root, allowing you to know exactly which botanical material you are receiving.

The root naturally contains a complex range of plant constituents, including alkylamides, polysaccharides and phenolic compounds such as caffeic-acid derivatives.

Earthy, Rooty & Distinctive

Echinacea Root has an earthy, woody and mildly bitter flavour characteristic of traditional root preparations. A slight tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth may sometimes be noticeable when tasting echinacea preparations.
