Herbs For Wellness !!!
Other names:
Elfdock, Horse-Elder, Horseheal, Scabwort, Velvet Dock,
Wild Sunflower
Elecampane has been used in connection with the following conditions:
- Asthma
- Bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Cough
- Indigestion
Elecampane is sometimes prescribed for bronchitis and cough, but because it can be severely irritating and allergenic, its use is not recommended.
The Elecampane herb has a variety of other uses in folk medicine, although none has been scientifically validated. Elecampane is taken as a remedy for upset stomach, gas, gallbladder problems, water retention, and menstrual complaints. In Asian medicine it's also used for diarrhea, vomiting, and intestinal inflammation, and homeopathic practitioners recommend it for bronchial conditions.
What It Is - Why It Works
Elecampane has been known since the days of the Roman poet Horace. A perennial shrub some 2 to 6 feet high, it is native to the temperate regions of Europe and Asia, and can now be found in China and the United States as well. Its Latin name "Inula helenium" echoes the many legends that associate the plant with Helen of Troy. (Your choice: It either sprang from her tears, or she was holding a branch of it when Paris stole her away.)
The active ingredients in Elecampane have shown an ability to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria and fungus, and loosen phlegm in the lungs. The portion of the plant used in remedies is the fleshy root, which has a strong odor and a pungent, bitter, tangy taste
