History:
Echinacea was the most widely used medicinal plant of Plains Indian tribes, commonly used for colds, toothache, snakebite and other external wounds. Native Americans have used it for years in alternative medicine to support the immune system, and to purify the blood, especially during season changes and during the cold and flu seasons. In 1887, it was introduced into U.S. medical practice and was touted for use in diseases ranging from colds to syphilis. Its modern research started in the 1930s in Germany.
