I today’s episode, I’m inviting you to meet the echinacea (also known as coneflower)—a powerful immune-boosting plant with centuries of use in healing and spiritual protection. We’ll explore how echinacea helps us move through grief, speak our truths, and amplify our inner strength in the face of adversity.💐 Meet the Plant Ally: EchinaceaEchinacea (Echinacea spp.), also known as coneflower, is a perennial plant native to North America.
