Elecampane Root Herbal Tincture

Elecampane grows up to six feet tall with large, pointed leaves, yellow, daisy-like flowers, and aromatic roots. It's a member of the Asteraceae plant family, the same plant family that sunflowers and calendula belong to.  Elecampane root has been used for its healthful properties in traditional European herbalism since the time of ancient Greece. The root is considered energetically warming and drying with a special affinity for the digestive and respiratory systems. Elecampane was also a part of various Native American healing systems, where the roots were employed for their wellness supporting qualities. The large, herbaceous plant is steeped in folklore, supposedly having a strong connection to elves and fairies. Elecampane extract is aromatic with a strong, slightly bitter flavor that is spicy and earthy. Elecampane tincture can be added to syrups, confectionaries, infusions, and herbal wines.  Our Elecampane is cultivated with organic methods on our micro-garden in Sioux Falls, SD. In autumn, we carefully dig elecampane roots from the soil, pruning the tap roots and tincturing fresh in organic cane spirits.  Ingredients: Organic wildcrafted elecampane root, Organic Cane Alcohol, distilled water, glycerin
