Echinacea is for those who feel shattered. Childhood wounds can cause us to compartmentalize and adapt coping mechanisms and personas to survive. These serve us for a time, but we aren't meant to stay there. Echinacea helps bind up the broken-hearted and reintroduces you to your core personality. Disassociating and not feeling fully present are good indicators for needing Echinacea.
 
There is a significant correlation between Adverse Childhood Experiences and auto-immune disorders, and Echinacea works deeply in this space, addressing distortions that may contribute to chronic illness. Echinacea brings awareness to environmental factors as well as emotional fractures that are playing a part in the illness cycle so that positive change can be made.
