Ingredient Spotlight: Organic Echinacea Purpurea (Leaves)

A Tradition of Wellness Support

Echinacea Purpurea, commonly known as purple coneflower, is one of the most recognized plants in herbal traditions. Native to North America, it has a long history of traditional use by Indigenous communities, often valued for supporting overall resilience.

Today, Echinacea leaves are appreciated for their rich content of natural compounds like alkamides, polysaccharides, and flavonoids, which are commonly studied for their potential roles in botanical wellness practices.¹

In our Throat Soothe Herbal Syrup, we use organic Echinacea leaves to help round out a formula crafted with traditional herbs for comfort and care.

Fun Fact:
While many echinacea products highlight the root, the leaves and aerial parts are also traditionally used for their gentle properties.
