harvest of
Echinacea strands, the latest research on the analytical methodology and the
standardization of Echinacea constituents, and traditional uses of Echinacea
species by Native Americans.
The symposium's objectives are fourfold, including to:
- Bring together international experts to discuss the latest clinical trial
results using Echinacea to treat radiation exposure in the Ukraine and to
prevent and treat respiratory infections in the US;
- Disseminate the latest conservation research about harvesting and sustaining
wild Echinacea;
- Help industry professionals analyze and standardize Echinacea constituents;
and,
- Present information about the traditional uses of Echinacea species by Native
Americans.
