    • Echinacea Flower


    Echinacea is a perennial plant, meaning it lasts for many years. It is approximately 1-2 feet (30-60 centimeters) tall when mature. It is slightly spiky and has large purple to pink flowers, depending on the species.

    The center of the flower has a seed head (cone), which is also spiky and dark brown to red in color. Three species of Echinacea are used as herbal remedies:

  • Echinacea angustifolia - narrow-leaved coneflower
  • Echinacea pallida - pale purple coneflower
  • Echinacea purpurea - purple coneflower, eastern purple coneflower

    • Pharmacology

    Echinacea purpurea herb (i.e., aerial parts) and root both contain caffeic acid derivatives (0.6 - 2.1% in roots), including mainly cichoric acid (1.2 - 3.1% in the flowers), caffeic acid, caftaric acid, chlorogenic acid and 0.001 - 0.04% alkamides. E. purpurea herb also contains water-soluble polysaccharides, fructans, 0.48% flavonoids of quercetin and kaempferol type and 0.08 - 0.32% essential oil.

    How it works

    Echinacea has a complex mix of active substances, some of which are said to be antimicrobial, while others are believed to have an effect on the human immune system.

    All species of this herbal remedy have compounds called phenols. Many plants contain phenols, active substances that control the activity of a range of enzymes and cell receptors, and protect the plant from infections and ultraviolet (UV) radiation damage. Phenols have antioxidant properties, which may be good for human health.

    Echinacea also contains alkylamides or alkamides, (not in Echinacea pallida), which have an effect on the immune system, as well as polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and caffeic acid derivatives.

    Mechanism of action

  • Binds polysaccharides to carbohydrate receptors on the cell surface of T-cell lymphocytes and macrophages.
  • Promotes tissue regeneration and reduces inflammation by inhibiting hyaluronidase production.
  • Generates oxidative burst and selective cytokine production in macrophages, leading to specific toxicity to tumor cell lines.
  • Enhances phagocytosis by human neutrophils in vitro.
