What is Echinacea Powder?
Echinacea powder is widely used to stimulate the body’s immune system, helping to ward off, or reduce, the duration of the common cold and other infections. Our echinacea powder is non-GMO.
Mix 1-2 teaspoons of the powder in beverages or food daily. Echinacea powder has a root-like taste and is commonly added to teas or other hot beverages, and can be sweetened as desired. The powder makes a wonderful nutritional supplement when added to smoothies and juices, or oatmeal and cereal. It can also be blended into other foods such as pastas and vegetable dishes.
Echinacea purpurea, also known as the purple coneflower, is a vibrant daisy-like flowering plant native to the United States and Canada. Its name comes from the Greek word for “sea urchin” because of its unique prickly cone head center. Early Native American tribes cultivated the plant for the treatment of colds, and it wasn’t until the late 1800’s that Europe and North America began to recognize its medicinal applications. Today, echinacea’s popularity continues to grow as new research reveals promising health benefits of the plant.

Echinacea Powder Benefits:
1. Support White Blood Cells and Strengthen Immunity
Although much about echinacea powder's effects on the body are not yet fully understood, it clearly supports the function of white blood cells. The herb supports white blood cells in two primary ways:
Affects macrophages (a type of white blood cell) Activates dendritic cells (another type of white blood cell) Macrophages are white blood cells that destroy forgeign substances and dead cells in the blood.
Once activated, they release inflammatory cytokines and recruit other white blood cells to eliminate infections.By increasing macrophage activity, echinacea can boost natural killer cells in a way that minimizes irritation from inflammation.
2. Fight Infection
Echinacea powdercan fight viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. In a 2014 study published in the journal Phytomedicine, researchers found that the alkamides in echinacea can treat fungal infections by destroying fungal cell walls.
3. Reduce Inflammation
Echinacea powder may also reduce certain types of inflammation. For example, a 2009 laboratory study in the journal Phytotherapy Research found that echinacea consumption can alleviate inflammation caused by a viral infection.
4. Support Mental Health
Echinacea powder may reduce anxiety and depression. In a 2013 study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research, researchers tested the anxiolytic () potential of Echinacea angustifolia extract on rats and humans. This same study concluded that echinacea extract may exert effects in rats by stimulating L-DOPA (the amino acid precursor to dopamine).
5. Heal the Skin
Echinacea purpurea cream may protect the skin from oxidative stress and reduce signs of aging by hydrating the skin and reducing wrinkles.
According to a 2017 study, echinacea may treat atopic eczema. In the study, 49 patients were treated with topical echinacea for three months. Echinacea significantly reduced redness and swelling by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the skin.
6. May Relieve Asthma
Echinacea's effects on the immune system may also relieve asthma. Recent studies indicate that echinacea preparations can reverse the secretions of asthma-related cytokines in bronchial cells. Echinacea proved to be equally effective at reducing symptoms as the corticosteroid medication budesonide.
According to the study's authors, "Pharmacodynamic studies have confirmed significant bronchodilatory and effects of echinacea complex that was similar to effects of classic synthetic drugs. These results provide a scientific basis for the application of this herb in traditional medicine as a supplementary treatment of allergic disorders of the airways, such as asthma."
7. May Reduce Pain
Many Native American tribes, including the Lakota, used echinacea as a pain remedy. It appears to be most effective at reducing pain associated with intestinal issues, herpes, measles, headaches, toothaches, tonsillitis, and sore throats. A 2008 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates that echinacea extract may influence the perception of pain by inhibiting the TRPV1 receptor: a receptor that's the prime target of many over-the-counter analgesic and drugs. purpurea extracts seem to have the strongest and pain-relieving effects, with E. angustifolia having somewhat less.
