Native American Indian tribes were the first to use the echinacea root for a variety of ailments and, until the 1800's, it was one of their best-kept secrets. Around 1870, a German physician formulated a medicine containing echinacea that became popular in European households, but it was not until the 1900's that echinacea gained recognition amongst healers in the west.

As interest in echinacea increased, many scientific studies have been conducted with the various species. There has been much debate as to which species is best and which plant part to use e.g. root, tops or plant juice. Echinacea purpurea root has been chosen for this product because it has been well documented and researched in various studies.

Echinacea supports healthy immune system function and has been traditionally used in western herbal medicine to:

• relieve symptoms of common cold
• relieve symptoms of mild upper respiratory tract infections
• soothe respiratory tract mucus membranes
• support general health and wellbeing.
