Elecampane Root HEALTH BENEFITS:

There are many claims that elecampane is good for your health. The majority of scientific research on this herb has been done in test tubes or on animals.

◉ May Support Respiratory Health - It looks like elecampane can get mucus out of the respiratory system. It also seems to have a soothing effect on the lungs by reducing inflammation. Even though these first results look good, full-scale human clinical trials are needed to confirm them.

◉ May Improve Digestive Health - Elecampane has inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber that is good for digestive health in many ways. It has also been shown to make more gastric juice and bile, which makes digestion easier.

◉ Antimicrobial Properties - Several different lab studies show that elecampane is very good at killing germs. Even though these first results are encouraging, more research with people is needed.

◉ Anti-Inflammatory Properties - Lab tests show that the sesquiterpene lactones in elecampane work to reduce inflammation in the respiratory system and all over the body. Human clinical trials are needed to show that these first results are correct.
