Overview
Get back to health!
Strengthen your immune system with globally popular echinacea.
Echinacea enhances the activity of the immune system and supports a healthy inflammatory response.
Centuries ago, Native Americans turned to the healing power of echinacea (also known as purple coneflower), using it traditionally for colds, coughs and sore throats.
More recently, herbal practitioners have embraced echinacea to support the body’s natural defenses.
Today, fields of pink and purple coneflowers can be found throughout the U.S. and Canada.
After it became the most popular herbal remedy in the US in the early 1900s, echinacea’s cultivation spread to Europe.
Our echinacea is harvested in partnership with Baltic farmers using fair pricing agreements!

How It Works
Named after the Greek ekhinos, meaning hedgehog (for its spiky, conical head), echinacea rose to immune system superstardom in the herbal revival of the 1970s.
But only in the last few decades have we discovered the many constituents that power this amazing plant’s benefits.
Several studies suggest that members of the echinacea genus contain polysaccharides, glycoproteins, alkylamides, volatile oils and flavonoids that promote the optimal function of the immune system.
Echinacea has been shown to stimulate the immune system by increasing activity of certain immune cells and by promoting the release of cytokines from these immune cells.
Cytokines are cellular communication and regulatory molecules that enhance the immune system's response to attacks.
Echinacea triggers the body's white blood cells to attack unwanted invaders.
According to research, echinacea can significantly increase the body's white blood cell count. Specifically, echinacea increases the body's count of T-cells, interferon, interleukin and immunoglobulins.
Echinacea also contains active substances that have antioxidant activity.
