Echinacea Root (Cut & Sifted)

Echinacea purpurea / Echinacea angustifolia

Deeper, stronger, and a little spicier than its aerial parts, echinacea root offers a concentrated source of the compounds that make this herb a seasonal favorite. Rich in alkamides, inulin, and caffeic acid derivatives, the root has long been used to support the immune system’s natural response—especially during early onset of seasonal challenges or environmental stress.

Our certified organic cut & sifted echinacea root is ideal for herbalists who want to create potent immune blends, tinctures, or decoctions. It has a noticeably tingling, peppery taste—a sign of its bioactive compounds at work.

Tasting Notes:
Earthy and slightly sweet at first, with a strong, tingling spice and bitter finish. That signature “buzz” on the tongue is characteristic of echinacea root’s alkamides.

Benefits:
• May help activate the body’s natural immune defenses
• Traditionally used at the first sign of seasonal symptoms
• Often included in blends for respiratory and throat support
• Supports lymphatic and inflammatory balance

Suggested Uses:
• Tinctures – The root is especially well-suited for alcohol-based extractions to capture its fat-soluble alkamides.
• Decoctions – Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes to release full flavor and benefit; great solo or with ginger and licorice.
• Herbal Syrups or Oxymels – Pair with honey and vinegar for a soothing, shelf-stable remedy.
• Topical Washes or Compresses – Infuse in water and apply externally to support skin healing.
