Elecampane and Licorice Root Tincture

Elecampane Root is a powerhouse herb known for its high inulin content, which supports healthy gut bacteria by acting as a prebiotic. It contains vermifuge compounds that help eliminate intestinal parasites and offers antibacterial and antifungal benefits. Elecampane also contains alantolactone and isoalantolactone, compounds that show anti-cancer activity by aiding in apoptosis. As an expectorant, it's highly effective for respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, and TB, helping to loosen phlegm for a more productive cough. It's not recommended for dry coughs, but it soothes bronchial tubes, reduces swelling, and fights harmful organisms in the respiratory tract. Additionally, Elecampane is valuable for treating digestive issues, improving poor digestion, appetite, and absorption. It helps alleviate excess mucus, gas, and sluggish digestion and is beneficial for managing high blood sugar and type 2 diabetes by slowing sugar metabolism, reducing glucose spikes, and improving insulin sensitivity.

 

Licorice Root is known for its antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes the intestines, reduces inflammation, and helps heal peptic ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori. Licorice relieves indigestion, heartburn, and nausea while its estrogen-like effects support menstrual and fertility health and reduce menopausal symptoms. It boosts immunity, helping prevent hepatitis C, HIV, and influenza, and aids respiratory issues like COPD. Additionally, it loosens mucus and soothes sore throats.
