Dried Echinacea is a natural herbal product derived from the Echinacea plant, which is native to North America. Known for its immune-boosting properties, dried Echinacea is often used in teas, tinctures, and supplements. The plant features vibrant purple flowers and has been traditionally used by Native American tribes for its medicinal benefits. When dried, Echinacea retains its active compounds, such as alkamides, polysaccharides, and flavonoids, which are believed to support the body's natural defense mechanisms. It has a slightly bitter taste and is commonly sought after for its potential to reduce the severity and duration of colds and other infections.
