Benefits of Elecampane Root + Elecampane Herbal Bitters Recipe

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!)
