Echinacea describes the genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family. The nine species of Echinacea are exclusively found in eastern and central parts of North America. Echinacea was originally discovered by native Americans who used it for centuries for its various properties and extensive content of active compounds, which include caffeic acid, alkamides, phenolic acids, rosmarinic acid and polyacetylenes.
Why Herbal Extracts?
Of the three main extraction methods used to produce herbal remedies, extracts are simply the best. Macerations use solvents which may leave harmful residues in the end product, most tinctures contain alcohol which is a systemic poison. Herbal extracts remove mineral salts and bitter principles through simmering herbs in water for a prolonged period. They contain far higher levels of active ingredients, no alcohol and can be made from hard plant parts unlike infusions. Our herbal extracts are made in small batches from organic ingredients by our fully qualified herbalist. They are also a superior form of supplementation than tablets or capsules, as many of those have artificially made ingredients and contain filers, flowing agents, excipients binding agents and preservatives. Also, they often contain only one active ingredient neglecting the fact that nutrients work synergistically in the body. Our qualified Herbalist uses only our own zero ppm quad filtered distilled water, all equipment used is stainless steel and our herbal extracts are bottled into steam sterilised UV resistant pharmaceutical grade glass bottles, which obviates the need to use preservatives of any kind.
