Echinacea, the beautiful purple coneflower that graces gardens and fields across America, is the most popular medicinal plant not only among herbalists, health professionals and American consumers today, but also among the Native Americans who discovered its many uses nearly 400 years ago. And with good reason.
Not only is echinacea an invaluable tool for treating colds and flu, but it can reduce the inflammation of arthritis, assist in wound healing and enhance the body's immune defenses. Moreover, it possesses antibiotic properties and is effective in clearing a wide variety of skin conditions. Within these pages a prominent American herbalist tells you everything you need to know about this versatile herb and how to incorporate it into your wellness program.
