--Echinacea Purpurea—

Other names: Purple Coneflower

Native to North America, Echinacea has a long history of use by the Native Americans. For centuries, it was used as a cure-all medicine, used internally and topically to treat many different ailments. As the first Europeans settlers came to the USA, they quickly adopted Echinacea as the same go-to medicine that was used by the Natives. It remained immensely popular throughout North America and began to spread to Europe in the late 1800’s. It became particularly popular in Germany, which led to a lot of the initial groundbreaking research into this plant taking place there.  

Still today, Echinacea is popular throughout the entire world for many of the purposes it was originally used centuries ago. These are highlighted by but certainly not limited to its effects of strengthening the immune system, relieving pain, and providing antioxidant effects.

Echinacea is easily identifiable by its tall stems and pink or purple flowers that surround a large spiny cone. Echinacea Purpurea has been identified as the most effective species of Echinacea, although other species also have medicinal uses. 

Active Ingredients:

Echinacea contains many active constituents that lend to its wide variety of medicinal uses. These include various polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, volatile oils, glycoproteins, and alkamides.

How to take it?

Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this:

•         Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant

•         Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that

•         If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat, until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water)

About our tinctures:

Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. They are fast acting and last for years when stored properly. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. We use only the finest, highest quality herbs from reputable growers all over the world.

Pure Health tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less (watch out for companies that list it as 50 proof, that just means it contains 25% alcohol). Alcohol is what ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes. We also use high quality extracts instead of actual plant material to maximize the concentration of the solutions and minimize the amounts of plant material floating in each tincture.

Other suppliers claim to use large quantities of plant material, but they do not specify whether it is fresh or dry. Fresh plant material contains 80% or more water by weight. We exclusively use dehydrated plant materials to ensure potency, purity, and reliability of strength. We are confident that we provide the highest quality tinctures available. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order, we will either give you a replacement or a full refund.

Our tinctures are stored in amber brown glass Boston Round bottles with glass droppers (8 oz size does not come with a dropper) attached and sealed with perforated shrink bands to ensure the purity and quality of the product. Please leave a message in the checkout page if you would like a smaller sized dropper to be sent with your 8 oz bottle. Orders are shipped within 1-3 business days through USPS First Class or USPS First Class International.
