Elecampane Oxymel

Elecampane (Inula helenium): warming bitter and stimulating. It is traditionally supportive as an expectorant, warming to move stubborn mucus & dampness from the lungs & respiratory tract - may be supportive for reducing congestion and supporting breath. Rich in inulin, it’s essentially a prebiotic (food for the microbiome). Their bitter taste and properties support the digestive secretion of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. 

:: Elecampane is extracted in Raw Apple Cider Vinegar & Raw Local Honey (organic) - what we call oxymel. The honey is helpful for adding demulcent and soothing properties and is also a helpful medium for their bitterness.  The vinegar is helpful for supporting stomach acidity (alkalizes), reducing inflammation, and offering prebiotics. 

:: Energetically, Elecampane offers SUN medicine, offering warmth and gentle movement to encourage “move stagnant energy” especially when we’re feeling cold, sluggish, and needing a bit of support during times of grief or heaviness. Supports movement of breath, lungs, the digestive fire (Agni/gut health), and seasonal shifts. 

Since Elecampane is warming & stimulating – avoid during pregnancy (always consult with your primary doctor first). Refer to the disclaimer here, as the information shared here is solely for educational purposes only, NOT medical advice.
