DESCRIPTION: Elecampane, frequently called wild sunflower, is a member of the aster family that is native to Europe and Asia and naturalized in North America. Before the root of the herb was in use, the flowers and stems were candied. Today, the herb is largely harvested for its roots, which are used to make teas, tinctures, tonics and syrups.
CAUTION: Be aware that larger amounts of this herb may cause vomiting, diarrhea and intestinal paralysis, which requires immediate medical attention. People with a known sensitivity to inulin should avoid this herb. Do not use elecampane root during pregnancy or while nursing.
