What are the Benefits of Echinacea?
When it comes to maintaining seasonal wellness, echinacea is an essential supportive herb during the winter cold. The key to echinacea's medicinal benefits lies deep in its compounds, which, depending on the species, include varying amounts of alkylamides, polysaccharides, and glycoproteins-all of which contribute to the herb's affinity for the immune system.
Echinacea's beneficial compounds are found in all parts of the plant, but are most concentrated in the roots. The tingly alkylamide molecules in echinacea which fire up immunity are best preserved in ethanolic extracts. The polysaccharides and glycoproteins fortify the immune system over time and are best extracted with hot water, making a hot tea one of the best ways to enjoy the benefits of this herb. Of the two most commonly used species of echinacea, E. angustfolia and E. purpurea, E. angustfolia is considered to have more immune-boosting phytochemistry.
