Elecampane Root Double Extract

With an affinity for the lungs and respiratory tract, elecampane is a tincture that you will want to keep in your medicine cabinet for damp, phlegmy colds.

As a stimulating expectorant, elecampane has an affinity for wet, phlegmy coughs and deep, wet lung congestion. Her antimicrobial benefit helps prevent any secondary lung infection while the stimulation clears out phlegm and dampness in the respiratory tract. As a lung tonic, elecampane also helps to strengthen weakened lung muscles, which can be beneficial for chronic or reoccurring lung illness. Furthermore, her stimulating aromatics make her helpful in case of a fever as well, particularly a cold fever accompanied by shivering and clamminess.

Elecampane also has a strong affinity for the digestive tract. As an aromatic bitter, elecampane helps to restore digestive fire, helping the body to digest food optimally, especially fats, to help promote healthy tissues and hydration in the entire body. Rich in inulin, elecampane is also fantastic for gut health, and its antimicrobial ability helps to kill bacterial, fungal, and parasitic pathogens in the gut while the inulin feeds the good guys, and its tonic astringency helps to tighten leaky gut tissues.

As a double extract, we are able to extract some of the polysaccharides and mucilage from elecampane, meaning that it has improved immune protection and also helps balance the energetics of elecampane a bit, so you don't need to worry about it drying the body out!
