Effective and exalted Echinacea, also known as Purple Coneflower, has a beautiful bedside manner! This elegant elixir has provided herbal apothecaries with robust remedies from the days of old.

Herbalists have been recommending the pretty purple flower dried or tinctured for centuries, yet only recently has the potent essential oil become available. All the aerial parts of the plant (the parts that grow above ground), are gently hydro-distilled to release the plant’s aromatic liquid. The resulting essence is rich and so thick that it is tricky to handle. We transformed this super thick Echinacea Essential Oil into a workable liquid by mixing it into two handy combinations so that Echinacea essence can work its salvation.

Hyssop combines beautifully with Echinacea as a purifying dynamic, herbal duo. This potent pairing can be applied neat as a do-all for the skin. Echinacea 78%, Hyssop 22%.

Herbaceous Hyssop essence (Hyssop decumbens) has a honey-laced, hint of mint, slightly stringent scent. This Holy Herb's virtues are extolled in literature from Shakespeare to the Psalmist in the Bible who stated, “purge me with Hyssop and I shall be clean.” Unlike Hyssopus officinalis, which contains strong ketones, Hyssop decumbens is a milder variety that is robust yet gentle enough to use on the skin and in oral care.

"For twenty to twenty-five years, echinacea has been passing through the stages of critical experimentation under the observation of several thousand physicians, and its remarkable properties are receiving positive confirmation... All who use it correctly fall quickly into line as enthusiasts in its praise." Ellingwood, 1919

“Under the older classification of remedies, echinacea would probably be classified as an antiseptic and alterative. Strictly speaking, it is practically impossible to classify an agent like echinacea by applying to it one or two words to indicate its virtues. The day is rapidly approaching when these qualifying terms will have no place in medicine, for they but inadequately convey to our minds the therapeutic possibilities of our drugs." King's American Dispensatory 1898
