Echinacea Update: Exploring New Discoveries and Potential Applications (Audio)

The following audio presentation was recorded live at the 13th International Herb Symposium, June 2017.

While probably the majority of us herbalists use a significant amount of Echinacea spp. for a variety of infections, there are other uses that are not well known that should be discussed. For example, recent research suggests that E. purpurea and E. angustifolia may be useful for metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes. Other research finds that E. purpurea may be useful as a sports and a high altitude aid. While still older uses include wound healing. We will review these “other” uses and update the knowledge base on this exceptionally useful medicinal plant.
