ELECAMPANE LIQUID FAQSCommon Questions About Elecampane Liquid Extract
What is MediHerb Elecampane 1:2 Liquid Extract?

It is a concentrated single-herb liquid extract prepared from the root of Inula helenium. The 500 mL format is intended primarily for practitioner dispensing, individual prescribing and professional herbal compounding.

What is Elecampane traditionally used for?

Elecampane is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support respiratory tract comfort, normal respiratory function and healthy mucus clearance.

Can Elecampane treat bronchitis?

Elecampane should not be presented as a treatment for bronchitis. Bronchitis may be viral, bacterial or related to another respiratory condition and can require medical assessment. The safer positioning is traditional respiratory tract and mucus-clearance support.

Is Elecampane suitable for a dry cough or a chesty cough?

A practitioner may select Elecampane where respiratory mucus and clearance form part of the individual presentation. A persistent dry or chesty cough should be assessed because coughing can have many possible causes.

What does the 1:2 extract ratio mean?

The 1:2 ratio describes the concentration used when preparing the extract. It means one part of starting herbal material is used to produce two parts of finished liquid extract.

How much Elecampane Liquid Extract should be taken?

The listed adult dosage is 20–40 mL per week, or as directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner. This is a weekly amount and must not be mistaken for a daily dosage.

Does Elecampane Liquid Extract contain alcohol?

Yes. It contains 60% ethanol, which forms part of the liquid extraction and preservation system. Speak with your practitioner before use if an alcohol-containing preparation is unsuitable for you.

Who should avoid Elecampane because of allergy risk?

People allergic to Elecampane, Asteraceae plants or sesquiterpene lactones should not use it. Related plants may include ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums and marigolds.

When should a cough be medically assessed?

Seek medical advice where a cough persists, disrupts sleep or occurs with shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, unexplained fatigue, weight loss, green mucus or blood. Healthdirect advises seeing a doctor when a cough lasts longer than four weeks.
