HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane Root (Certified Organic) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains a single active ingredient: elecampane powder, an herbal root in its certified organic form. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Elecampane product and its label doesn't state a use — see Elecampane's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that elecampane root works for acne or cough — both are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate. If you're considering this for another use, that information isn't in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Elecampane is generally used in small amounts in teas and tinctures, but it can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. At high doses taken by mouth, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, muscle spasms, and in rare cases symptoms resembling paralysis.

Topically, it can cause allergic contact dermatitis, especially in people sensitive to plants in the ragweed and daisy family (Asteraceae/Compositae). The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Elecampane.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this product, double-check any medications that slow your central nervous system — sleep aids, anxiety drugs, pain relievers, and sedatives — with your doctor or pharmacist. Elecampane may amplify their drowsy effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is generally well tolerated in small amounts, but there's limited safety data overall. If you take any medications that make you drowsy or slow your brain activity, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid it. Talk with your pharmacist about whether this is right for you.

Elecampane Root (Certified Organic) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Elecampane Root (Certified Organic) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elecampane Root (Certified Organic) Powder has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Elecampane Root (Certified Organic) Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is elecampane safe during pregnancy?
No — the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know it's safe for your baby, so you should avoid it while pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against breastfeeding while taking elecampane because there isn't enough information to know how it might affect your infant. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the side effects?
At normal doses in teas and tinctures, allergic reactions and stomach upset are the main concerns. At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and muscle spasms. If you're sensitive to ragweed or daisy-family plants, you're at higher risk for a rash if it touches your skin.
Does elecampane actually work for cough?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works — the data is insufficient to rate it. If you want to try it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Why shouldn't I take this with sleep medications?
Elecampane may have sedative effects of its own, so combining it with sleep aids or other drugs that slow your brain could make you much drowsier than expected. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you if it's safe for you.
