INFORMATION:
Echinacea Purpurea, also known as the eastern purple coneflower, is a perennial commonly grown in the prairies and meadows of North America. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek word for hedgehog (echinos) which is inspired by the spiky projections at the center of the flower head (similar to a sunflower). Purpurea refers to the traditional purple-pinkish color of the petals, but echinacea flowers can be a variety of hues including white, yellow, red, and green.
Echinacea has been studied for its immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, especially in the alleviation of cold symptoms. The natural therapeutic properties of the plant are found in the leaves, petals, and roots. Throughout history, people have used echinacea to treat fevers, colds, malaria, blood poisoning, syphilis, and snake bites. Herbalists now often recommend echinacea to help boost the immune system, reduce cold symptoms, and improve energy levels. People have started to use echinacea as a mood stabilizer to reduce anxiety. Popularly promoted to improve skin and hair health; it can be found in bath bombs, soaps, and beauty products.
Echinacea has a strong, slightly floral flavor with fresh pine notes. It can be brewed on its own or added to tea blends to temper the flavor and add natural sweetness. Often paired with herbals such as elderberries, mint, citrus, or lemongrass to enhance the healthful benefits as well as create delicious flavor combinations.
