The following audio presentation was recorded live at the 13th International Herb Symposium, June 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While probably the majority of us herbalists use a significant amount of Echinacea spp<\/em>. 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<\/em> and E. angustifolia<\/em> may be useful for metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes. Other research finds that E. purpurea<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that all courses and lessons from the 13th International Herb Symposium are audio only.
