Drinking elecampane tea for the first time this morning. The taste very much reminds me of well toasted bread with burnt edges. I found it to be very enjoyable! Planning to make tincture for more convenient use.

I love and so appreciate your videos, Sajah! I used to work with a group of Naturopaths in Woodinville, WA who would routinely prescribe tinctures of elecampane alongside calamus and burdock for treatment of Lyme.
