Echinacea

Echinacea belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to North America. It is rich in vitamins B and C, riboflavin, beta-carotenes, and minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, and sodium). Of the nine identified and studied species, three have been recognized for their therapeutic uses: Echinacea purpurea Moench., Echinacea angustifolia L., and Echinacea pallida, with the highest concentration of benefits found in the roots and herbs of these species. Its most well-known use is related to the benefits it offers to the immune system. Its properties are maintained both in extracts and in powder form.

It is also known by the following names:

Echinacea angustifolia L, Echinacea pallida, Echinacea purpurea Moench, Rudbeckia.

Some of its properties are:
Antibiotic:
Components such as essential oils, phenolic acids, complex polysaccharides, indole alkaloids, and fatty acids make it a powerful natural antibiotic.

Anti-inflammatory:
Exerted by high molecular weight polysaccharides.

Antimicrobial:
Due to its active principles, echinacin, caffeic acid, and chicoric acid, which generate natural defenses against bacteria, fungi, and infections.

Antioxidant and Anti-radical:
Due to its high content of vitamin C and phenolic acids that combat both free radicals and oxidative damage.

Antitumor:
Its content of arabinogalactan stimulates the destruction of tumor cells.

Antiviral:
Because of the glucosides that stimulate the production of interferon, a protein that neutralizes viruses.

Healing:
Components such as phenolic acids, chicoric, caftaric, and cynarin reduce cellular necrosis and promote tissue regeneration.

Immune-stimulating:
The presence of its polysaccharides, amino acids, B vitamins, flavonoids, and vitamin C increases phagocytosis and white blood cell production, boosting the body's defenses.

Peripheral vasodilator:
Due to the role played by alkylamides, which help improve circulation.
