HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane Root 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 one active ingredient: elecampane, delivered as a powder. Elecampane is a plant root traditionally used in herbal medicine.

There are no other active ingredients or inactive filler ingredients listed in this formulation.

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 works for acne or cough — the data rates both as insufficient. That doesn't mean it's ineffective, just that rigorous studies supporting its use for these purposes aren't in our records.

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 well tolerated in small amounts as a tea or tincture, but it can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and in rare cases spasms or paralysis-like symptoms.

If you're sensitive to ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies, or other plants in the same family (Asteraceae), you're at higher risk of an allergic skin reaction, especially if applied topically. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe in these situations.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

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.

Elecampane root powder may be worth considering if you're looking for traditional herbal support, but it's not yet supported by strong evidence for acne or cough. The main caution is if you take sedating medications — check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should avoid it until they've discussed it with their healthcare provider.

Elecampane Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Elecampane Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elecampane Root 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 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.
Can I take elecampane if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in these situations.
What are the most common side effects?
Topically, allergic skin reactions can occur, especially in people sensitive to ragweed or related plants. Taken by mouth, stomach upset is the main concern. At high doses, diarrhea and vomiting are possible.
Does elecampane actually work for cough or acne?
The evidence we have doesn't establish that it works for either one — both are rated insufficient. You might find traditional or anecdotal support for it, but rigorous studies backing its use aren't in our data.
What if I'm allergic to ragweed or daisies?
Elecampane is in the same plant family, so you're at higher risk of an allergic reaction. Be cautious, especially if you apply it to your skin, and watch for itching, redness, or swelling. Talk with your pharmacist if you have a known sensitivity.
Is this product safe to use?
Elecampane is generally well tolerated in small amounts as a tea or tincture, but it can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. The main thing to watch for is whether you take sedating medications — check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you do.
