Elecampane
The root of the tall, striking elecampane plant has been used both
medicinally and as a `condiment' for centuries. In ancient Greek and Roman
times, elecampane was used for asthma, sciatica, and also, externally, as
a healing poultice on animals. Elecampane is still grown and cultivated
today, primarily in Holland, Switzerland, and Germany. Modern day research
supports the use of elecampane for disorders of the respiratory tract
based on its anti-bacterial, antitussive, and expectorant actions
exhibited in laboratory in vitro studies. Further studies have
demonstrated anti-parasitic, anthelmintic properties making elecampane
useful for gastrointestinal complaints.
Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
