It is a traditional bitter tonic, stomachic, carminative, cholagogue, diaphoretic and diuretic. The root (or isolated alantolactone) can be used as a disinfectant against bloating and for infections of the urinary tract. Externally, extracts can be applied as an antiseptic to help support skin complaints.

Elecampane Root
Inula helenium L.

Family: Asteraceae.

Other Names: Elfdock; aunée (French); Echter Alant (German); enula campana (Italian); enula campana (Spanish).

Description: A large, leafy perennial herb of up to 2.5 m in height, with erect stems bearing broad, irregularly toothed leaves and large, yellow flower heads. The large heads (up to 80 mm in diameter) and slender ligulate florets are quite distinct.

Origin: Asia Minor and southeastern Europe; naturalised in Europe, North America and eastern Asia; cultivated in China and eastern Europe.

Parts Used: Dried rhizomes and roots of two to three-year-old cultivated plants (elecampane - Helenii rhizoma; synon. Radix inulae).

Therapeutic Category: Expectorant.

Active Ingredients: The rhizomes and roots contain a mixture of sesquiterpene lactones often referred to as "helenin" or "elecampane camphor". These compounds also occur in the volatile oil (1-3%) (with alantolactone and some degradation products; mainly alantol and alantic acid). Also present are inulin (up to 44%), polyacetylenes, phytosterols and triterpenoids.

Health Effects: Experiments have shown diuretic, choleretic and secretolytic activities (probably due to the lactones - mainly alantolactone and isoalantolactone).

Notes: Helianthus tuberosus (also Asteraceae) is an important source of inulin.

Status: Traditional health; Pharm.

Preparation and Dosage: As an expectorant, 1 - 4 g of chopped material is taken as tea three or four times per day. Alantolactone is taken in doses of 300 mg for adults and 50 - 200 mg for children, daily for two five-day courses (with an interval of 10 days between courses). Also in use is the essential oil.

Elecampane can be used to help disinfect the intestinal tract, to help support water retention, and to help lessen tooth decay and help firm up the gums. It gives support to all respiratory ailments. It is usually used in combination with other herbs. Externally it can be used as a wash for wounds and itching rashes. It is burned to repel insects.

Elecampane is a perennial herb found in Bulgaria, China, Europe, former U.S.S.R., Near East, North America, and the U.S. The dried cut roots and rhizomes are harvested in autumn from 2-3 year old plants.

Elecampane nourishes and supports both the respiratory and digestive systems. Indians found the plant to be useful in maintaining optimal lung health and bronchial conditioning.

Elecampane Root contains bitter principles, calcium, essential oil, inulin (32%), potassium, sesquiterpene lactones (alantolactone), and sodium.

ELECAMPE or SCABWORT (Inula helenium) is a large herb of European and North Asian origin. Its root was used in ancient Rome as a vegetable. In medieval times sweetmeat was made by adding to the ground roots, eggs, salt, sugar, saffron and spices. This herb was also considered an excellent supportive for pulmonary problems.

Several species can be used to support health; they are bitter and aromatic. Inula campana is very much used in health. The leaves of the variety known as Rock Samphire can be eaten pickled in vinegar and are aperitive. The wild variety, Scabwort, can be used as an astringent in cases of dysenteric affection.

Also called scabwort, elf dock, or horseheal, elecampane root is sweet, acrid, and bitter, and effects the lungs, spleen, and stomach. With tonic, carminative, expectorant, diuretic, antiseptic, astringent and stimulant properties, this root can be useful for many disorders including respiratory complaints, chronic coughs, and digestive weakness. Biochemically, the herb is made up of an essential oil, bitter principles, resin, and inulin.

Elecampane root is specific for chronic mucus, coughs and digestion. Therefore it is given for asthma and coughs and is beneficial when given on a long-term basis. Its carminative properties aid the digestion and assimilation of food, and for this reason, there is less tendency to form mucus.
