Echinacea Angustifolia Dried Cut Certified Organic Root
Echinacea ( Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida) is used traditionally to prevent colds and other respiratory, as well as urinary tract infections and stimulate one's natural immunity. It has also been used for returning vaginal fungal infections ("yeast infections").
The Angustifolia variety was the one used mostly by the American Indians and believed to be superior to the purpurea species.
Directions: Simply place one teaspoon of herb per cup into an infuser, tea pot or coffee plunger, pour over boiling water and serve in 3 – 5 minutes.
Precautions
Persons with allergies to other members of the Asteraceae family should exercise caution with Echinacea, due to the presence of Echinacea pollen. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications. The use of Echinacea for longer than 8 weeks at the time is not recommended.
