Background and Use

Echinacea was used by many Native American populations throughout the country. This widespread use was adopted by the Eclectic physicians in the U.S. and its use was documented in medical texts until 1947. A German pharmaceutical manufacturer imported E. purpurea to Germany in the 1930s. This herb is popular both In Europe and in the United States. As a result of many clinical trials that were done in the 1990's Echinacea sales account for approximately 10% of the dietary supplement market. Many are still being conducted today.

Goldenseal is another popular herb among the Native Americans that evolved to become an official herbal remedy in the United States Pharmacopeia. It has traditionally been referred to as "king of the mucous membranes" as it was known to help regulate secretions of the mucous membranes.

Goldenseal contains powerful alkaloids, giving it the distinctive yellow-gold color. Presently, this herb is one of the five top-selling herbal products in the United States. It is often combined with Echinacea.
