About this Product:

Echinacea has long 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, and many other ailments. Herbalists now often recommend echinacea to help boost the immune system, reduce cold symptoms, and improve energy levels. It's popularly promoted to improve skin and hair health and 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.
