Do you know if Elecampane can be used preventively? Or is it more for one who has (persistent) symptoms?

as far as 'Elecampane'- the only research I have is "Diuretic, tonic, diaphoretic, expectorant, alterative, antiseptic, astringent and gently stimulant. It was employed by the ancients in certain diseases of women, also in phthisis, in dropsy and in skin affections" You can find more out about it at: http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/e/elecam07.html

Elecampane
