Hildegard, in the Renaissance, Mattioli praised the virtues of elecampane and its fame has certainly not faded over time. Only its root is active; after having been collected, it is cut into pieces and dried in the sun. The name of potio Paulina, an elecampane wine that was prepared in Germany, derives from St. Paul's recommendation to Timothy to drink a little wine to cure a weak stomach. In Alsace, a liquid called reps is still prepared today, macerating the root in must. The name of the species, helenium, seems to derive from the Greek Helen; in fact, according to legend, the plant was born from the tears of Helen, wife of Menelaus, who was the cause of the Trojan War.
