I have elecampane in my garden & this fall is the first time I'll be able to harvest the root! Super-excited! And it's good to know we can pair it with a mullein tea (which is also growing with wonderful abandon in my gardens). :)

Thanks for your comment. If the roots smells wonderful (strong and fragrant) then its still full of good medicine. If you like, use as tea just make sure to cover the steeping lid to keep in the volatile oils. And yes, you can use it to make tincture. Ratio for dried is 1 part herb by weight to 4-5 parts menstruum by volume. The menstruum can be in the 50% alcohol range. Best wishes!

I have three year old roots that I grew for my chronic bronchitis. Do you have a recipe to make the tincture without alcohol? How else can I utilize this root? Dry? Crush? Make tea??

@DinaFalconi

3 ай бұрын

Best to tincture, but I only make it with alcohol. Since you don't want to use alcohol, you can def. make an infusion (long steeped tea) with it. For details on making this kind of an infusion, check our video here kzread.info/dash/bejne/iI5o15huZ66xhqg.html for dandelion root, but you'll replace the dandelion with elecampane. And the dosage is much less than dandelion, like 2-3oz of the elecampane infusion 1-3 times a day.

understand your recommendation of using fresh elecampane root for tinctures. I will most definitely grow some in my My question is will the tincture still be effective if processed with dry root from a reputable source, such as Mountain Rose Herbs? I'd like to introduce this as a tincture to help myself and asthmatic husband. But really don't have access to fresh root, unless you can recommend a supplier. I usually go with mountain rose herbs for plants I'm not able to grow

Hello Tina, I've been responding to your email with this question, with no luck. Your email address keeps rejecting my emails. This is the rejection message I keep getting: "Delivery has failed. Your message couldn't be delivered. Despite repeated attempts to contact the recipient's email system it didn't respond. Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to tell their email admin that it appears that their email system isn't accepting connection requests from your email system. Give them the error details shown below. It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this problem. For more information and tips to fix this issue see this article: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=389361." Anyway to answer your questions: Yes, fresh is best, but roots that are dried properly, that have retained their flavor and aroma, are good too. So, the question is whether the tincture contains a potent root. Perhaps you have a local herbalist who makes tinctures that you could connect with about this. Or I would think companies like Herb Pharm make a good elecampane tincture. Let me know if you have any more questions. Be well,

I think I have bronchitis following an endoscopy. I don’t have any of my own herbs… just bought 1/2 oz elecampane and 1/10th oz mullein and I’m planning to make a tea using a peppermint tea bag and some thyme from my garden. Any suggestions for me… should I soak the elecampane longer than everything else? Also do you have courses in herbalism. I am planting my first medicinal garden this year and need direction and skills.

Hello Beth, hoping your are feeling better. Please note that I can not give specific medical advice (and hoping you can work with a local herbalist in your area). Generally speaking, you can make an herbal infusion with elecampane and mullein and let steep for 4 hours, tightly lidded. Please see the mullein infusion video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKiZm5OOfNPIiMo.html You can add thyme and mint to it as well. Regarding courses that I am offering, Wild Food Health Boosters & Herbal Remedies is available and you can learn more about it here: www.WildFoodHealthBoosters.com

I think some of you folks, especially women, have the opinion that you have to take all kinds of herbs and stuff to be healthy. I find this completely wrong. If you take a drug for health reasons you have to be (at least a little bit, like a headache) sick. If that is not the case you should not take any medicine. And if you ARE sick and you only treat the symptoms, you may keep sick until your life is changed in a good way, so that the origins of your disease disappear. But I think there is no drug that you should consume to prevent some disease you think you could eventually get... You even might get sick by that. Just eat proper food! Meat (organic, venison, from little farms, inner organs), milk & eggs, fruits/vegetables (organic, from little farms or someones garden) and not too much carbohydrates. Like our ancestors did.
