Growing and harvesting my own echinacea?
Anyone do that?
If I buy a seed packet and it says (Echinacea) under the flower name (Purple coneflower, I think...) is that the same echinacea that people take in capsule form for colds and stuff?
If so, which parts are used? Would I just be able to dry it and use it in a tea ball for echinacea tea?
Thanks!
Purple or white coneflower is Echinacea. I pasted this from a website on it...
Harvesting Echinacea
For medicinal purposes, you'll want to harvest some roots and some flower tops. For best quality, wait until your plants are 3 years old. Roots are harvested in the fall when the tops have gone to seed and the plants have experienced a couple of hard frosts. Tops are harvested just as the flowers start to open. Whether harvesting tops or roots, the dried herb will be good for one year. Be sure to date the jars containing the herb so you won't use them past their potency date.
Harvesting Roots
1. Using a sharp knife cut off a portion of the root, leaving plenty for the plant to grow on.
2. Cut any pieces larger than 1 inch into smaller pieces to avoid mold growth during the drying process.
3. Wash thoroughly and pat dry.
4. Hang the root pieces or lay them out on screens in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If the pieces are large it may take several weeks for them to dry.
5. When completely dry, store in a tightly covered glass jar in cool, dark place.
Harvesting Flower Tops
1. Using a sharp knife, cut the plant at the point where the first healthy leaves are growing.
2. Lay the tops on a screen or hang them upside down in bundles out of direct sunlight. Make sure they aren't crowded so that air can't circulate around them.
3. When completely dry, the leaves will crumble when touched. Store them in glass jars with tight fitting lids in a cool, dry place.
Using Echinacea
Although echinacea is used to fight many different ailments, it is most commonly used to boost the immune system and fight infection. To find out more about making tinctures, salves, syrups, antiseptics, sprays, and many other simple remedies, see Growing and Using Echinacea by Kathleen Brown. This little booklet contains a wealth of information about Echinacea, and costs only $3.95.
Echinacea teas
There are two ways to brew an herbal tea: Infusion and Decoction. Use the infusion method when preparing a tea from leaves, flowers or seeds. Decoction is the method of choice for roots. For a pleasant cup of tea, most people prefer an infusion of the flowers. Decoctions are very strong.
Got a cold? Study says echinacea won't help much
Got the sniffles? The largest study of the popular herbal remedy echinacea finds it won't help you get better any sooner.
Flower Gardens : How to Grow Purple Coneflower (Echinacea Purpurea)
ECHINACEA-A FLOWERING PLANT
Echinacea is a flowering plant commonly known as purple coneflowers mostly found in North America and Canada. They bloom from early to late summer and has large showy heads. The common names for the flower is Echinacea, purple coneflower, coneflower and American coneflower. Some of the species are used in herbal medicines. It is an herbal remedy which helps our body to defend from certain viruses. Traditionally it was used to treat common flu and colds and some infections. It has been also used for curing skin problems like boils and acne.
Some studies have found Echinacea pupurea fresh pressed juice can be used for treating children suffering from colds and its root and herb for the adults. It may be beneficial for treating respiratory infections. Echinacea products are easily found in health food stores and drug stores.Usually Echinacea does not cause side effects when it is consumed by mouth but some people still experience some side effects like allergic reactions, increase in asthma, upset stomach, nausea, dizziness and some of the serious allergic reactions such as rashes and swelling on skin.
Echinacea should not be used more than two weeks before talking to the doctor. It should be taken with food and not when the stomach is empty. If a person is taking other medicines he cannot take it before consulting a doctor because it interacts with other medicines. Patients suffering from type 1 diabetes, AIDS and HIV virus should not consume it. Pregnant women or breast feeding women should also consult her doctor before taking Echinacea.
