Common Name: Purple Coneflower
Botanical Name: Echinacea
Echinacea, or Purple Coneflower, is renowned for its health benefits and vibrant appearance. This North American native features large, daisy-like flowers with raised, purple-pink petals and a central cone.
Medicinally, Echinacea is widely used to boost the immune system and help reduce the symptoms and duration of colds.
In beauty, Echinacea extracts are incorporated into skincare products for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, often found in creams and serums designed to enhance skin health.
An interesting fact about Echinacea is that it was used by Native Americans for a variety of medicinal purposes long before it became popular in herbal medicine in other parts of the world.
