The root of the Elecampane herb has been used in medicine for thousands of years. The root is known to have a soothing property when extracted.

Extraction is most commonly done by making a decoction. Let the roots steep in boiling water for upwards of an hour, strain, and squeeze out most of the liquid in the root.
