Elecampane Root (Inula helenium) comes from a towering sunflower-family plant of the old European herb garden, its tall stems crowned with shaggy golden blooms 🌿. The dried root carries a warming, earthy bitterness with a distinctive camphor and honey aroma, which is why it has anchored herbal bitters, honey infusions, and slow-simmered decoctions for centuries. Naturally inulin-rich and cut and sifted for easy use, Elecampane Root is a storied addition to any herbal collection 🌱.
