Nature's Answer Echinacea and Goldenseal, 1000mg, 30ml

Echinacea (Echinacea purpura/angustifolia) also known as purple coneflower, is a perennial herb that is native to the central south-eastern areas of the United States. Although it only grows wild in the United States, it is also widely cultivated in Europe. Echinacea grows up to twenty inches tall, producing large, beautiful, daisy-like purple flowers, although some varieties sport white blooms. The "cone" of the flower is prominent and distinctive. If you press the cone, you will notice that it has sharp points, similar to the Echinoderm family of animals, such as the sea urchin, hence the name "Echo". Native Americans and early settlers recognized the health-supporting benefits of this plant. *. Today, it is considered an excellent option to support immune health throughout the year. Goldenseal is a small perennial herb that grows in rich soil on a shady forest floor. It has a thick, yellow root and low-growing, erect stem. It generally grows wild in moist mountainous areas of North America. Because it has been overharvested, Goldenseal is now rarely seen in the wild and has to be carefully cultivated. It is a difficult plant to grow, and it also takes several years to mature. For it to grow successfully it must be grown in an area with conditions similar to its native environment. Goldenseal has also long been used by Native Americans to support health. * For much of the first half of the 20th century, Goldenseal was listed on the United States National Formulary. It became so popular, there was a fear that the plant would become extinct in the wild due to such high demand.
