Elecampane Root Tincture

This dynamic sunflower has some powerful medicine in its roots and flower. Elecampane is indeed a friend for the winter time croupy cough months but to be avoided when dry and irritated. Just remember, “Elecampane when there is mucous to drain.” It has an energetic signature of warming and drying so it is excellent to work with for cold and damp conditions of respiratory system. Because it is an expectorant it works to push out stagnant mucous from infection so that healthy mucous can replenish.

Another known application of Elecampane is for gut health. It has also been reported that due to its inulin polysaccharide content that elecampane qualifies it as a prebiotic, meaning that these molecules are not broken down by the upper GI tract and pass on to the colon so that the gut bacteria is able to use them. These claims are just some suggestions of the magic of Elecampane....known in olden times as Elfwort. It’s important to remember that plants are living organisms that have limits just like we do. No herbal preparation is a magic bullet and the best starting point is a diet based on what’s right for the individual and a healthy lifestyle
