Sampson Snake Root.

Process: dried Echinacea Angustifolia root.
Common Names: Purple Echinacea, Snake Root, Echinacea Root, Purple Coneflower.

Echinacea Angustifolia, traditionally called Snake Root by Native American tribes, is one of the most cherished immune-supporting herbs in herbalism. This hardy perennial produces striking purple, daisy-like flowers and reaches up to 20 inches tall. The root of 3–4-year-old plants is considered the most potent part of the plant and is typically harvested in the fall.

Known for its unique tingling sensation, the root contains alkamides, similar to those found in chili peppers, which are believed to contribute to its immune-stimulating effects. Echinacea Angustifolia is a traditional go-to for seasonal support, and it's widely used in herbal teas, tinctures, and encapsulated supplements.
