Скачать или смотреть How to Harvest & Use Elecampane Roots 🌱✨

🌿✨ 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞 ✨🌿 Did you know the medicine of Elecampane lies in its roots? 🌱 You want to allow the roots to mature for two years before harvesting them in the fall or early spring. This ensures they reach their full potency!

In the fall, when the plant goes dormant, or early spring before it flowers, the roots are at their peak potency. You can even divide and propagate them during harvest to help the herb flourish! 🌱

Once harvested, you can make a powerful tincture, cough syrup or dry the roots:

🌱𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Freshly harvested roots are perfect for making tinctures. Make sure to use a strong alcohol (80-95%) to ensure you capture all those incredible volatile oils.

🌱𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐲𝐫𝐮𝐩: I love pairing Elecampane with other aromatic warming herbs like Pleurisy root and Ginger to. A syrup is a strong decoction preserved with honey and brandy, though many just contain a sweetener and no alcohol.

🌱𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬: You can also cut the harvested and clean roots and dry them out to use later on for a decoction or other medicine making projects.

With its affinity for the respiratory system and its deep trophorestorative and replenishing effects, I can’t think of a better plant to work with during winter than sun-like Elecampane. 🌞❄️
