Echinacea

Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is a herb used at the first signs of sickness to help accelerate the rate of recovery or as a daily preventative. Active components found in coneflower are polysaccharides, glycoproteins, alkamides, and cichoric acid. After processing, echinacea bioactives may be sensitive to light and heat. It may be prudent to store echinacea in a cool (5°C or lower) and dark placement.
