Organic Echinacea - 210 mg - 200 vegetarian capsules

○ Latin name: Echinacea purpurea ○ Dosage: 210 mg per capsule Echinacea purpurea, also known as purple coneflower, is a popular herbal medicine that is native to North America. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and is cultivated in many places around the world for its medicinal properties. It is a herbaceous perennial that can reach a height of about 1 meter. It is characterized by large purple, pink or white flowers with spiny conical centers, surrounded by spiny bracts. The leaves are oval, toothed and arranged alternately along the stem. ֍ At the beginning of the 20th century, purple echinacea became very popular in North America for its medicinal properties. However, due to the increasing demand, many growers started to harvest the plant intensively, which led to its population decreasing in the wild. In response to this threat to the plant, a biologist and conservationist named Dr. Melvin Gilmore began collecting samples of purple echinacea from across the United States and began growing them in her botanical garden. She also encouraged others to grow the plant in their gardens to preserve its population. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Melvin Gilmore and other echinacea advocates, the plant was saved from extinction and is now widely cultivated for its medicinal properties.
