Popular among frontiersmen and settlers, the properties of Echinacea Augustifolia, or Elk Root, were likely taught first by the Native Americans from the regions in which it commonly grows. There it was reportedly first discovered by stalking Elk who would seek out the plant when it was sick or wounded. Considered somewhat of a miracle plant, Echinacea Augustifolia has a long history of being used to stave off illness, help heal wounds, and even treat snake bites.Modern herbalists do not use it much differently. Studies have shown that it can indeed help fortify the immune system of some, and otherwise aid in preventing respiratory diseases and flu symptoms. Topically Echinacea Augustifolia is most frequently used in treating inflammation, wounds and abrasions and is still sometimes considered of use in treating snake bites.This is a 1 oz packet of Echinacea Augustifolia.
