As much as we love summer, we have now hit mid-August, and that means fall is coming. And with it, cooler weather, and cold and flu season being just around the corner. Even before then, kids across the country will be returning to school, and germ season will be in full swing. Are you and your herbal medicine cabinet ready?
Lucky for you, we have been working with our lovely friend, Echinacea purpurea. More commonly known as the Purple Coneflower, this beautiful plant isn’t just total eye-candy in the garden. It is also a secret weapon in the medicine cabinet, and a blessing to our immune systems. We made a double tincture with glycerin and echinacea’s flowers, leaves and roots. This is safe for all ages, and will give an immunity-boosting burst of goodness that can be added to just a small amount of water.
Echinacea contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, tannins, polysaccharides, and caffeic acid. It is antifungal and antibacterial, and helps keep fungal and bacterial infections at bay. Echinacea increases macrophage (white blood cells) and T-cell activity, which are our first mechanisms of attack against foreign antigens entering our body. It is also full of polysaccharides, which also helps protect our cells from the invasion of bacteria and viruses.
It is recommended to start using the tincture at the early signs of sickness. We list all recommended doses on the bottom of the product page. Quantities are limited, as we like to make things in small batches to keep product fresh. This tincture will be good for up to a year in your medicine cabinet, and can be used as a preventative precaution as well.
