- There are so many benefits of elecampane root!
It’s famous for coughs but be warned: it doesn’t help ALL types of coughs. Instead, elecampane truly shines for one type of cough in particular (and yes, I’ve got all the details in the episode).
Elecampane root is also totally underrated as a bitter herb to support digestion.
In this episode, I’m sharing my love for this powerful medicinal plant. As a listener, you’ll also get access to my favorite elecampane herbal bitters recipe. (Be sure to download your free, beautifully illustrated recipe card!)
If you have elecampane in your garden, or you simply want to know how to use it, then don’t miss out on all my best tips for getting the most benefits of elecampane root!

One of my seven plants I work with! I love this plant and yes the fresh root is the best! I had an Aunt visit once who had been dealing with a chronic cough for 4 years! The doctors could not figure it out or give her any help. So she was having a severe coughing fit when I put one dropper of my tincture in some water and told her to try it. We continued visiting when I said to her she was not coughing. It had immediately stopped the cough. She was in shock! Needless to say she went home with a big bottle of the tincture! Lol I also was taking it for a cough when it did something unexpected. I had a sinus infection the month before, but had been taking it for a cough. All the sudden I needed to blow my nose. Out came a shockingly large blob of something resembling rubber cement with a rusty brown color. I believe it was residual debris from my sinus infection! Such an amazing plant! Thank you for sharing sister!!!❤
Thank YOU for sharing these awesome elecampane stories!
Did you use alcohol or glycerin for your tincture?
Rosalee, you are so incredibly generous with your information, and to that I say “Thank you so very much!” I own both your books and a number of your courses and they are so well designed. You truly have a gift for making herbalism accessible to everyone.
Wow, thank you!
I'm delighted to tell you Rosalee that I have received gifts this Christmas of both of you absolutely wonderful books! I have only in the past short while been finding out as much as I can about the herbs and wild plants all around me. You have been very inspiring. Talking about you so much to my family gave them wonderful gift ideas 😅 My retirement just got a whole lot better. Every blessing to you and your loved ones for the year ahead
I'm delighted to hear this! Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!
I love that you give everyone their credit due at the end of each episode. Its so refreshing
Hello, great videos. I am in Nelson, BC and I am part of a 7 month plant club immersion where we try a new tincture every month. This month we are having an elecampane root tincture. So far I am loving it ! It tastes nice and it seems to be uplifting to my mood. Thanks for all the great info on this plant
There is no doubt that your book and this video of yours will play a big role in the welfare of the people of the world.
I pray to the Creator to give you health and long life and a beautiful smile on your face always
I want to promote your book in my country
Thank You Rosalee, Your a wealth of Beautiful Information and I Love Your Show. I look forward of ordering your Book soon and learning more from You! Thank You Again 🌸🍃🌿🌿🌿
Thank you so much!
Rosalee- these bitters are THE VERY BEST BITTERS I have ever made. I love love love them and now my other bitters are getting real lonely over on the apothecary shelf. They're so well-balanced, and everyone I've shared them with gets a super delighted face after trying them. I thought the amount of pepper was a misprint, but I went with it (because you like never have misprints), and geez am I glad I did! The sweetness of the orange with the pepper and the bitter ele is just total perfection. What a great lesson in bitters formulation!
Between these bitters and the elecampane hibiscus syrup you shared a while back (LOVE that one too- tho I make it with honey instead of sugar), my body is getting so much elecampane deliciousness. I started growing elecampane a few years ago, and a sweet little family of bunnies lived under her big leaves the first year. What a glorious plant. Thank you so much for all of the amazing sharing you do!
What beautiful stories, thank you for sharing! The sweet little family of bunnies living under elecampane leaves melted my heart.
Thanks for the information. I have never heard of this herb. I have a lot of mullein that grows around me. So that is what I use.
I add it to a mullein glycerine blend for copd people
Do you take it by spoon or add to tea?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always enjoy your videos. I live in Italy and I hope I can order your book here
Aww, thanks! So glad you are enjoying these! Amazon in Europe does carry the book so that may be one way...
You are so knowledgeable!! Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!

Happy New Year Rosalee! Thank yo fro sharing this herb. I have a woodland garden and need to choose more herbs for 2024. What are your thoughts of Milk Thistle? I am not on medications that interact and it sounds like an interesting herb for my digestion. I look forward to following your channel this year. Thank you ~ Diane
Milk thistle is a fabulous nourishing herb for the liver. I don't have a video on that (yet) but I do have an article about it on my site. www.herbalremediesadvice.org/milk-thistle-medicinal-uses.html
Rosalee any teas I can use to ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia? love watching videos and recipes have helped me to make a tea to help with Crohn's and colitis. look forward to future videos
I have an article about this: www.herbalremediesadvice.org/fibromyalgia-natural-treatment.html
Hope that helps to point you in a good direction. I also always think it's best to work directly with an experience practitioner. You can find a list of my trusted practitioners if you do a search on my site for "practitioner".
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thank you x
Where canvwe getbit?;❤
Also what would you use for eyes
Could you make a tincture using glycerine? It would help cover the bitter taste I hope. Also, you previously mentioned that you make a tea with elecampane and Rose hips. Would you please give us the measurements? Thank you.
Hi, you can try a glycerite, if you wish. Nothing will really cover that bitterness, though! :D
~Karin Rose
The leaves look like comfrey
Because your bitter has elecampane in it would it also be good for a cough if your in a pinch
Yes, it would! Great question!
If a person using ele Campanella could that person use fruits such as oranges ànd ripe bananas
