"...The name Echinacea originates from the Greek echinos, which describes the nature of a hedgehog or sea urchin, in reference to the bristly scales of the dried seed head.In the Native American world, Echinacea was a miracle flower. It was used to withstand intense heat. It is a powerful immune booster, and can provide the body with extra defenses against seasonal illnesses all year long. It is used to relieve aches and pains and also an excellent remedy when it comes to upper respiratory health. Looking at a stand of Echinacea gives you a sense of vitality and robust power....."
