Elecampane belongs to the number of perennial plants, it can also be annual, but only occasionally. In terms of its size, elecampane can be up to a maximum of two meters in height. The plant is herbaceous and has the appearance of a bush. Its leaves have an elongated shape and are pointed at the ends, and the stem is straight and rather dense. The flowers of elecampane are quite large and catchy. Their color is usually from orange to yellow, which allows you to select a plant and immediately recognize it without confusing it with any other. Usually, elecampane is found in a meadow, near a reservoir, as well as in a moat or quarry. For use, tall plants with a wide, straight stalk are most preferred – their roots are best suited.

It is most preferable to use the grass that is more than three years old, since the younger one does not yet contain such a number of useful properties, partially yielding to more mature plants. For further use, it is necessary to very carefully dig out the elecampane from the ground, shake it slightly, remove the rhizome and stem, and wash the root in water. If the root is wide and dense, then you need to cut it, and then spread it out in one layer on a paper surface and let it dry. Usually it is left for two or three days in the sun. It is better not to use an oven to dry the roots, otherwise the entire healing effect of the plant will be lost.

Contraindications

Taking drugs from the plant is contraindicated for those suffering from kidney, heart and pregnant women. If the decoction is overdosed, symptoms of poisoning may occur.

Elecampane should not be taken during pregnancy, with excessive blood viscosity and intestinal diseases with chronic atonic constipation.
