Breathe deeply with the powerful support of Elecampane Root, a time-tested lung tonic.

Used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine, Elecampane Root (Inula helenium) is prized for its ability to clear excess mucus, calm deep, persistent coughs, and support respiratory health. Its warming, slightly bitter properties stimulate the lungs and help break up congestion, making it ideal for those recovering from colds, bronchitis, or chronic lung issues.

This aromatic root is rich in inulin (a natural prebiotic fiber) and alantolactone, a compound known for its antimicrobial and expectorant effects. Whether steeped in tea, made into syrup, or extracted into a tincture, elecampane is a trusted choice for lung and immune support.

Key Benefits:

• Clears mucus and supports healthy bronchial function

• Calms chronic and dry coughs

• Warming and antimicrobial properties

• Traditionally used for bronchitis, asthma, and lung weakness

• 100% natural, dried and cut root — no additives or fillers

How to Use:
Simmer 1 teaspoon of dried elecampane root in water for 15–20 minutes to make a respiratory-supporting tea. Can also be combined with herbs like mullein or thyme for stronger effects. For syrups or tinctures, consult a qualified herbalist.

Note: Not recommended during pregnancy. May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals.
