Description
100% Pure Echinacea (Angustifolia) Root,
Firstly, the differences between the varieties of Echinacea, a common question for us at Baldwins.
Angustifolia is the stronger of the two we sell (coming in at up to 30% stronger that the purpurea variety) however, harvesting the angustifolia root is more damaging to the environment as more of the plant has to be destroyed to get at the precious root.
Echinacea benefits are all centered around immune functions, supposedly supporting this by activating white blood cells.
Some double-blind trials and studies have proven Echinacea succesful at treating the common cold & flu and also may aid the body's ability to fight infection (by increasing the production of Interferon in the body).
The trick to Echinacea is to take it as soon as you notice cold & flu symptoms (3-4ml tincture / 300mg powdered root every two hours for the first 24 hours of symptoms - settling down to 3 times a day for 7-10 days).
Other benefits, that may need some more clinical testing, include treating anxiety (Angustifolia) and it's effect on skin conditions such as Eczema (due to it's anti-microbial effects).
Not to be used by children under 12 years old.
