Elecampane Root Cut (Inula helenium) is a warming, aromatic root traditionally used for steady respiratory comfort. The cut pieces are easy to measure for teas and classic long, cool steeps that are later warmed before drinking. Many people reach for elecampane during seasons of heavy, productive coughs when they want a soothing cup that helps settle the chest. The taste is gently bitter and spicy with a hint of sweetness, and pairs well with lemon and honey.

♡ Why we love it: Handy cut root that suits old-fashioned preparations for chesty, mucus-heavy coughs. The flavour is comforting in a warm mug, and it blends well with herbs like thyme, liquorice or ginger.

Sizes: 200g, 500g or 1kg.
