Echinacea



I couldn't help but post this picture.  Its echinacea from my garden last year. A truly beautiful plant with amazing health benefits.  The root is used in a tea or a tincture to stimulate the immune system.  I have found it most beneficial at the first onset of a cold/flu or other infection.  It also can be used topically for skin infections like boils or infected cuts, or as a mouthwash for gingivitis or infections in the throat.  It's one of my favorites!
