Echinacea Tincture

Echinacea purpurea

ABOUT

Echinacea was once used to treat toothaches and gum disease due to its analgesic properties. Also referred to as ‘Snakeroot’ amongst many tribes, it was used to help remedy snakebites and scorpion stings. It can be called, ‘Nature’s Antibiotic’ and reached for whenever an antibiotic would normally be needed. 

It can activate the immune system, so it is best taken at the first sign of sickness, helping the body to rid itself of infections. It can stimulate an immune response and can raise white blood counts. If taken in the middle of sickness, the body might become extra tired because it has already been working hard to combat whatever virus your body has. It can be especially helpful for upper respiratory tract infections. 

This tincture was crafted with fresh roots. It tingles on the tongue and has a smooth taste going down. 

There are countless articles on the benefits of echinacea! Some can be found here: 

This is a perfect staple to include in your wellness cabinet!
