| Abstract: |
Echinacea is a common name for three species of large, daisylike plants of the Aster family (Compositae). The plant was listed in the National Formulary because the roots and rhizomes are used most often in medicinal preparations. This fact sheet covers echinacea's medicinal properties, natural habitat, cultivation, the harvesting process, and marketing. |
