Sampson Snake Root.
Color: Brown mix.
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.

🫖 How to Use Echinacea Root:

Tea or Decoction:
Simmer 1 tsp of dried root in 8 oz of water for 15–20 minutes.
Strain and enjoy 1–2 times daily during seasonal changes.

Tincture:
Use 1 part dried root to 5 parts alcohol (vodka or brandy).
Store in a dark glass jar for 4–6 weeks, shake daily.
Strain and use 15–30 drops, up to 3x daily.

Capsules or Powders:
May be ground and encapsulated for convenient daily use.

⚠️ Caution:
Use caution if you are allergic to ragweed or plants in the Asteraceae family.
May cause nausea in high doses.
Not recommended for long-term use without breaks.
Always consult your healthcare provider before using if pregnant, nursing, or on medication.

🌿 Pairs Well With:
Gold-en-seal Root (for immune synergy)
Elderberry (for seasonal defense)
Licorice Root (to balance the bitterness)
Ginger (warming companion herb)
Lemon Balm or Peppermint (flavor enhancement in tea blends)

🔮 Folklore & Spiritual Use:
Echinacea root, also known as Snake Root, has historically been used in protective and healing rituals by Native American tribes. It was believed to guard against spiritual and physical toxins and was carried as a talisman for strength and protection.

Average:

I placed an order for one herbal item on Nov 30th & seller’s estimated delivery: Dec 10-14th. Seller's shipping policy says processing time is 3-7 business days, allowing them ample time. Item was needed before winter solstice on the Dec 21st. Seller shipped item on the Dec 16th, it is now the Dec 23rd and the item has still not arrived. A total of 2 weeks has passed. Seller was extremely tardy with shipping. Not a shop to bank on getting your orders in a timely manner, especially since I went out of my way to order ensure something like this didn’t happen. Seller did not follow up with a warning or send any message, mentioning a delay. As for the quality of the item I don’t know and at this point who knows if it will actually arrive ? Policy says final sale, I'm aggrieved. Shop risk was not worth the reward for me.

Quality item that matched description

I love the packaging so much when everything came in the mail i felt a Really good wave purifying energy i can tell business owner is good people and cares a lot about their products

While the herb itself seems ok the processing and shipping time was quite slow. Likely won't be ordering from this seller again.
