Typical features

 Inula is a perennial plant with a stem from three to four feet high; large saw-toothed leaves tapering to a stalk; and large heads of yellow flowers. The root has an aromatic camphor-like taste, due to the presence of a crystalline substance called Helenin, allied in chemical constitution to Kreosote. It also contains a quantity of starchy material, called Inulin, which differs from ordinary starch in being coloured yellow by Iodine. Elecampane was formerly much used as an aromatic tonic, and as a stimulant of all the secreting organs, likewise in coughs, dyspepsia, &c. This quotation from the Treasury of вotany well sums up the chemistry and ancient medical history of the plant as handed down from the time of Dioscorides. вen Jonson refers to it in one of his poems. A popular tradition credits it with the cure of facial erysipelas, and certain symptoms of the face in the provings seem to confirm this. The homoeopathic knowledge of it is due to. Fischer, who proved the root-juice. сlinical experience has confirmed and added to the symptom list. The old reputation of the remedy in coughs is confirmed: Violent tickling in larynx, producing dry cough,.
