Elecampane root tea benefits:

Elecampane root tea is traditionally used for respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and coughs, as it's an expectorant that helps loosen mucus. It also possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that may benefit the digestive system, help with intestinal parasites, and support the immune system. However, there is limited scientific evidence to fully support all of these uses, and it should be avoided during pregnancy.
