Dried Echinacea Angustifolia Root
Echinacea Angustifolia
, also known as
Western Coneflower, Narrow Leaf Coneflower, Elk Root, Black Samson, Kansas Snakeroot
and
Blacksamson Echinacea
is native to North America and is best known for its use as a "fortifier of the immune system". This dried herb is mainly used to prevent flu and minor respiratory diseases.
The Native Americans discovered the benefits of
Echinacea Angustifolia
by observing elk seeking out the plants and consuming them when sick or wounded. This is where the name
Elk Root
comes from.
John Uri Lloyd (1849-1936), a well known pharmacist and author from the 19th century, was responsible for the first pharmaceutical preparations of
Echinacea
introduced into the medical profession in 1895. From that time into the 1920s,
Echinacea
(specifically preparations of
Echinacea Angustifolia
) became the most widely prescribed American medicinal plant by physicians in the United States.
Echinacea
is valued as a short-term stimulant to the immune system, especially as a preventative at the onset of colds and flu, or to reduce the symptoms and duration of cold and flu infections. Various species of
Echinacea
, including the roots of
Echnacea Angustifolia
,
Echinacea Pallida
, and
Echinacea Purpurea
, have been found to stimulate the immune system.
As with any herb or supplement, a physician should be consulted prior to use.
