Echinecea Root (Sold In Bulk)

Echinacea purpurea root, cut and sifted, is a great option if you’re looking for a more potent form of this herb, as the root contains the highest concentration of active compounds believed to support the immune system. The "cut and sifted" form means that the root has been dried, chopped into smaller pieces, and sifted to remove larger debris, making it easier to brew or work with.

Here are some ways you can use cut and sifted Echinacea purpurea root:

1. Herbal Tea: You can steep the cut root in hot water for a few minutes to make a soothing tea. Some people combine it with other herbs like ginger or lemon balm for added flavor.
2. Tinctures: The root can be used to make a tincture (an alcohol-based extract) to capture its beneficial compounds.
3. Infusions: Similar to tea, but you may steep the root for a longer period of time to extract more of the medicinal properties.
4. Capsules: If you prefer convenience, you can fill capsules with the cut and sifted root, though the dried form may need to be ground further for that.

Echinacea is most commonly used for immune support, particularly to help with colds, sore throats, or other upper respiratory issues.
