INCI: Inula Helenium Root Powder

Elecampane Root Powder (Inula helenium) is a finely milled, aromatic root made from carefully dried elecampane. With a warm, resinous bitterness and gentle sweetness, it suits chest-soothing herbal teas, classic syrups and tidy apothecary projects.

♡ Why we love it: It makes a comforting, aromatic herbal tea for cooler days, and the smooth powder folds neatly into honey syrups and lozenge-style kitchen experiments without gritty texture.

Sizes: 200g or 1kg.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
