There are nine known species of echinacea. Echinacea is an herb that is native to areas east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States. It is also grown in Western States, as well as in Canada and Europe.
For a time, echinacea enjoyed official status as a result of being listed in the US National Formulary from 1916-1950. However, use of echinacea fell out of favor in the United States with the discovery of antibiotics. But now, people are becoming interested in echinacea again because some antibiotics don't work as well as they used to against certain bacteria.
The hedgehog-like appearance of the central cone of echinacea, or purple coneflower, gave this herb its name, from the Greek echinos meaning "hedgehog." Echinacea is probably one of the most commonly used herbal extracts today. In Germany, the liquid extract is referred to as "resistance drops," owing to echinacea's immune-stimulating effect.
