Echinacea angustifolia, commonly known as narrow-leaved coneflower, is a member of the Asteraceae family. This perennial herb is native to the prairies and open woods of North America, particularly in regions such as the Great Plains and parts of Canada. Echinacea angustifolia typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet and is characterized by its slender, green leaves and striking purple to pink flower heads, which have a prominent central cone that is often spiky. 

Historically, Echinacea angustifolia has been utilized by Native American tribes for its various beneficial properties. Traditionally, it has been prepared as a tea, tincture, or poultice to support the body's natural defenses. In herbalism, Echinacea is often associated with potential benefits related to immune system support and overall wellness. Its popularity in modern herbal practices stems from its long-standing use and the belief that it can help promote health during seasonal changes or times of stress. Echinacea leaves are associated with several potential health benefits. They are often valued for their role in supporting the immune system, particularly during seasonal changes when colds and flu are more prevalent. The leaves are rich in antioxidants, which can help combat oxidative stress in the body. Additionally, Echinacea leaves may promote overall wellness and vitality, contributing to a feeling of balance and health.*
