Elecampane Root | Lung Cleanse & Respiratory Strength
The Remedy:
Elecampane Root (Inula helenium)—also known as Horseheal, Elfdock, and in Spanish Raíz de Elecampana—is a powerful traditional respiratory herb used to support deep lung cleansing, mucus breakdown, and respiratory resilience. Rich in inulin, alantolactone, sesquiterpene lactones, and antimicrobial compounds, elecampane helps loosen stubborn mucus while strengthening the lungs and bronchial passages.
Commonly used to support chronic cough, bronchitis, asthma support, congestion, smoker’s lungs, post-illness lung recovery, and respiratory infections, elecampane is valued for its ability to clear phlegm while soothing irritated airways.
Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, syrup, or respiratory blend, elecampane root provides deep, grounding support for long-term lung health and breathing comfort.
