How It Works

Echinacea purpurea is the Latin name for a herb native to the central and southwestern U.S.A. The plant, which also goes by the name purple cone flower, bears beautiful purple flowers resembling black-eyed susans. Although it prefers to grow in open fields and rocky soil, it has become a favorite with urban gardeners too. Echinacea was widely used by the Plains Indians who valued it in much the same fashion the Chinese value ginseng. American settlers quickly adopted its use, and the herb has been valued by natural health care advocates ever since. German research has demonstrated the herb’s ability to increase the number of white blood cells (a vital part of the immune system’s defense against invaders). Today echinacea is the most popular selling herb for the prevention of colds and sickness. It is high in organic aluminum, cobalt, zinc, chromium, iron, manganese, niacin, riboflavin, selenium and vitamin C.
