Has anyone tried Elecampane root for Asthma or chest problems?

Elecampane must never be used in pregnancy and a whole host of other things.

Used to be used in vet practices for horses hence its more common name of horse-heal.

Also used in the manufacturing of absinthe.

Personally, I'd check and double check with GP and BMA funded research before trying anything off the beaten track. Could be playing with fire.

I've tried Absinthe, but didn't notice any improvement in my asthma...
