A purple flower with special effects
The roots of the Echinacea plant were used centuries ago by Indians for a variety of purposes. Sometimes they also used the flowers and leaves. Later, settlers were introduced to the special properties of this plant, and the first Echinacea preparation was launched on the market in 1870. The name "Echinacea" is probably derived from the Greek word "echinos", meaning "hedgehog" - a reference to the prickly, cone-shaped core of the flower.
Echinacea belongs to the daisy family and includes nine different species. Two of these are particularly popular: Echinacea purpurea (red sunflower) and Echinacea angustifolia. These species have been extensively researched and are widely used in supplements. Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia resemble a colourful daisy with their purple petals, but both varieties contain their own specific bioactive compounds. Echinacea is a common ingredient in supplements, tinctures, teas and herbal mixtures, especially during periods of seasonal change.
