I have been thinking about adding purple coneflowers near my garden beds to use as a pollinator attractor for some time. But in researching coneflowers both here on Permies and on other sites I came across the possible use of coneflowers/echinacea tincture for snakebites.

So if I were to grow coneflowers, would they become a true multi-purpose Plant they seem to be? Pollinator attractor, snakebite healing agent? What else? Would a tincture of coneflowers and comfrey be even better?
My dog was bit by a copperhead about 2 years ago so I would love to have a treatment on hand.
Any thoughts or experiences are welcome.
