Elecampane offers
your respiratory
tract a breath of
fresh air |
|

Elecampane is a lung
tonic, meaning that
it supports the
normal functioning
of the respiratory
tract. It is an
anti-tussive agent,
an herb that is used to stop
coughing. |
Elecampane is espaecially good for
persistant coughing
that brings up mucus
and causes the chest
to ache. It can be
used for those
nasty, lingering
coughs and colds
that make you feel
unwell for weeks.
It can be used for
chronic coughs too,
like those that are
due to smoking or
asthma. Another
less well known use
for elecampane is as
a treatment for
parasite infections,
although there is
not much information
on exactly how
elecampane is
beneficial in this
case.
Elecampane can be
purchased as a dried
herb, encapsulated
herb, liquid extract
or tincture.
Elecampane is found
in formulas for
coughs, asthma and
lung cleansing.
Skin contact with
elecampane may cause
