Echinacea was the primary medicine of the Indigenous peoples of North America, who used root poultices for wounds, bites, stings, and snakebites. They gargled with it for toothache and sore gums, and drank decoctions of it for colds.
Discovered by the Indigenous people of the Great Plains, Echinacea has been used as an effective herbal remedy for over 400 years. The flowers, leaves and roots are used to make various concoctions, with the roots containing high concentrations of volatile oils, whilst the flowers and leaves are rich in polysaccharides – powerful plant compounds that are known to trigger immune response.
