Echinacea tincture 100 ml. – Bean & Herb

Τα βαμματα βοτανων προέρχονται από την εμβάπτιση ενός βοτάνου σε ένα αλκοολούχο διάλυμα (συνήθως καθαρό οινόπνευμα), για μία περίοδο 4-6 εβδομάδων. Κατά τη διάρκεια αυτή, τα ενεργά συστατικά του βοτάνου διαλύονται μέσα στο αλκοολούχο διάλυμα με αποτέλεσμα να δημιουργείται το βαμμα. Τα βαμματα είναι πολύ πιο δραστικά από τα εκχύματα και τα αφεψήματα.

Echinacea tincture (Echinacea purpurea) contains the same active ingredients as the dried Echinacea herb. The use of Echinacea is particularly widespread in the context of modern herbal medicine. Echinacea is mainly used to stimulate the body and strengthen the immune system. From clinical research that has been conducted, it appears that the use of Echinacea has the property of increasing the number of white blood cells in the blood. White blood cells are the body's main "defense" against pathogenic particles that enter the human body. Although the beneficial effect of Echinacea is due to a combination of components contained in the plant, recent evidence shows that the polysaccharides are largely responsible for the activation of the immune system. Polysaccharides are highly concentrated in the aerial parts of the plant and not in the root which is "traditionally" used in various preparations. In Germany only the aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea (not Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pallida) are approved for the treatment of colds.

Tinctures retain all the active ingredients of the herb, are particularly simple to take and completely natural. They are undoubtedly superior to dietary supplements in pill form, as they do not contain chemicals and preservatives and are absorbed much more efficiently by the body.

Herbal tinctures are very active and for this reason should be consumed according to their instructions. The usual dosage is 1ml (about 20 drops per day). They should not be consumed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
