Description Organic Echinacea Root Tincture 50ml Echinacea angustifolia This organic echinacea root tincture is a traditionally prepared 1:5 liquid extract made using the percolation method for efficient and thorough extraction of the root’s soluble constituents. Crafted from carefully sourced organic echinacea root, ethanol (60% ABV) and purified water, it is prepared as a balanced herbal extract. Echinacea root has a long history of traditional use in Western herbalism and was widely used by Indigenous North American peoples. It later became a staple in Eclectic and traditional Western herbal practice, where it has been valued for its role in seasonal wellness and as a classic apothecary herb. This is one of those herbs you will feel immediately. The distinctive tingling sensation on the tongue is a characteristic marker of a well-prepared echinacea extract and reflects the presence of its active constituents. You won’t miss it! Each batch is handcrafted in small quantities and clearly labelled for transparency and traceability, reflecting traditional herbal practice and careful attention to process. You can learn more about echinacea and its traditional uses throughout history in my herbal monograph here. Ingredients: Organic Echinacea angustifolia root, organic cane ethanol (60% ABV), purified water. Safety Considerations: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional guidance. If you have allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family, use with caution. Theoretically, it may interfere with immunosuppressant therapy. If taking medication or managing an existing health condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. In his textbook, Medical Herbalism, 2003, David Hoffman considers it inappropriate to take echinacea as a daily immune support and is more appropriately used for support during active infections or at the first sign of acute infections. How to use: Tinctures are commonly taken diluted in water or juice, though some prefer them straight. Echinacea root has a strong, earthy flavour with a characteristic tingling sensation on the tongue. In their textbook The Modern Herbal Dispensatory 2016, Thomas Easley and Steven Horne discuss Echinacea angustifolia root tincture preparations made at the 1:5 ratio in 60% ABV, traditionally taken in the range of 1 to 5 ml, up to 3-6 times daily. Dropper reference: One full dropperful of this tincture contains approximately 1 ml of liquid, equivalent to around 20 drops. Drop size may vary slightly.
