Echinacea (Purpurea) Arial Loose tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Native to the open grasslands and prairies of North America, Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea)—commonly known as Purple Coneflower—takes its name from the Greek echinos, meaning "hedgehog," referring to its spiky central cone. Long revered by Indigenous American nations, including the Lakota, Choctaw, and Kiowa, for everything from sore throats to venomous bites, Echinacea was introduced to Western medicine in the late 19th century. Rich in alkylamides, caffeic acid derivatives (echinacoside and cichoric acid), and immunostimulating polysaccharides, Echinacea is celebrated in modern clinical naturopathy and Western herbalism as the ultimate immune system modulator and lymphatic cleanser.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Pungent, slightly bitter, earthy, leaving a characteristic tingling or numbing sensation on the tongue (indicative of active alkylamides
