Viridian's 100% Organic Echinacea tincture is made with the whole fresh Echinacea purpurea plant. Grown and traditionally harvested and tinctured in Herefordshire and the Welsh borders. Certified organic by the Soil Association - better for the planet, better for you. The MHRA (the government's medicine and healthcare regulatory authority) has recommended that echinacea is not given to children aged under 12.
