Echinacea angustifolia vs Echinacea purpurea: which to use (and for what)?
Both species are held in high esteem for their ability to remove toxins from the blood and various internal sub-mucosal linings, fight infection, reduce swelling, and clean the lymphatic system. Which to use is largely a preference of the herbalist. Some will use the flower tops and leafs of E. angustifolia but prefer to use the roots of E. purpurea… or they will combine the two depending on the specific situation they want to address.
