Basic Botany of Elecampane:

Elecampane leaves are similar to the downy soft leaves of mullein. Its flowers produce narrow rays of petals that look like small sunflowers, about 4 inches in diameter, and bloom from mid to late summer. The stems are deeply furrowed and rise from a basal rosette of large, ovate, pointed leaves. The lower part of the stems are hairy, becoming sparsely branched and downy towards the top. The plant can grow to be 3-6 feet tall.

Elecampane is found throughout Great Britain, Europe, the temperate zones of the west Himalayas, and eastern and central North America. It likes damp meadows, well-drained loamy soil in damp, partly shaded environments. It is often found along roadways, grasslands, and fields.

History and Folklore of Elecampane:

Legend says that the name Inula comes from Helen of Troy whose tears are said to have turned into the healing plant we know as elecampane.

The common name, Marchalan, was used by Welsh physicians of the thirteenth century and was its common name in the Middle Ages.

The Druids used the herb as an incense in rituals for initiation and blessing babies.

The Spanish used the herb in surgical dressings.

Elecampane is a flavoring agent in digestive liqueurs, vermouth, absinthe, cough syrups, pastilles, and candy. It is also used as a fragrance for cosmetics and soaps. It can be used to make a blue dye.
