Origin and traditional use
Echinacea was already used by the indigenous peoples of North America, including the Sioux and Cheyenne, who valued the plant for its purifying and protective properties.
In the 19th century, Echinacea was introduced to Europe, where it quickly found its place in herbal medicine. To this day, Echinacea is used by herbalists and nature lovers to support the immune system** and maintain a natural balance.
Botany of Echinacea
Echinacea Purpurea is a perennial plant from the composite family (Asteraceae) and grows 70 – 100 cm tall. She stands out because of her composite flower, which consists of approximately 20 purple and pink ray florets. These unfold around a spiky, gray to reddish brown heart. The plant blooms from July to September and attracts plenty of bees and butterflies. It is striking that the flower takes different shapes during flowering: it first reaches upwards, later horizontally and the ray florets eventually droop.
Botanical variants of Echinacea
Echinacea Purpurea descends from the original variants Echinacea pallida Nutt. and Echinacea angustifolia DC.These original species originated on the central prairies of North America, where they grow in sunny, open areas with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Nowadays Echinacea is grown all over the world and in Europe we are particular fans of Echinacea purpurea because of its powerful effect.
