As far as the echinacea, After t years, I dig up the roots, (they are tough!) Cut them up, put them in enough alcohol to cover it, and shake it every day for 2 months. (storing in a dark cupboard)
A teaspoon several times a day works amazing when you are starting to feel "off" from a cold or flu.
But... if you have young ones, that you don't want to give the tincture to, you can harvest the flowers and dry them, crush them up and make a tea out of them.
