Background and Use
This herb was used by many Native American populations throughout the country. This widespread use was adopted by the Eclectic physicians in the U.S. and its use was documented in medical texts until 1947.
A German pharmaceutical manufacturer imported Echinacea purpurea to Germany in the 1930s. Since then, German and American scientists have been researching the clinical usefulness of the herb with an emphasis on supporting the immune system. Both species of Echinacea are popular in both Europe and in the US. As a result of many clinical trials that were done in the 1990's Echinacea sales account for approximately 10% of the dietary supplement market. Many are still being conducted today.
