Today is a special episode! That’s partly because I’m with my bestie, Rebecca Altman.

You’ll hear stories about white pine, as well as the beau…

There are so many benefits of elecampane root! It’s famous for coughs but be warned: it doesn’t help ALL types of coughs. Instead, elecampane truly shines for one type of cough in particular (and yes, I’ve got all the details in the episode).
