Echinacea pallida Flower Macro after rain

Native to North America, the indigenous people have been growing this lovely medicinal plant for its beauty and for its healing properties. Only this variety is used for cold and flu symptoms. The root must be at least 3 years old when dug up, ground to a fine pulp and added to wild honey, or as a tea: 1 heaping teaspoon of root pulp per 1 cup of water boiled in a stainless steel pot (not aluminum) pour over the root, and taken by the mouth. These days you can buy the tincture in an alcohol base and take a few drops in warm water.
