Elecampane Wildflowers and MRSA

More and more scientists are now realizing that Mother Nature has answers to many of the dilemmas that we face. One such answer has arrived through a pair of Eurasian wildflowers (Elecampane & Pulsatilla vulgaris).

According to a study conducted by researchers at the Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), extracts from the flowers are highly effective in killing the MRSA superbug.


The superbug, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that is the root cause for many infections in humans. MRSA can be very difficult to treat, because it’s resistant to many antibiotics. MRSA is especially troublesome in hospitals, where, if the proper procedures are not carried out, staff may transfer these bacteria from one patient to another.

MRSA has been a serious problem not only in hospitals, but in other institutions such as prisons & schools. Due to the continually rotating population in a prison, combined with regular poor health, staph cases have become more and more prevalent.

The CIT researchers found that Elecampane, also called Horse-heal (Inula helenium) or Marchalan, is 100% effective against MRSA colonies. The second flower, Pulsatilla vulgaris, also known as Dane’s Blood or Pasque flower, was also “highly effective” against MRSA. The pair of wildflowers was tested against 300 different varieties of staphylococci bacteria, commonly known as Staph.

The Pulsatilla vulgaris (Dane’s Blood) belongs to the Buttercup family. Unlike its cousin’s yellow petals, Dane’s Blood has purple droopy flowers. The Elecampane appears in many gardens throughout Great Britain, but ranges as far eastwards as the Himalayas.

In an article written in the Corrections Connection Network News [CCNN], writer Ann Coppola pointed to Tulsa County Jail in Oklahoma, which suffered from an average of twelve staph cases per month.

These wildflowers represent a significant weapon in the battle to fight the staph infections that are ravaging prisons, schools and hospitals. It’s been noted too that it’s best to harvest the extracts from young wildflowers, 3 years old or less, for optimal potency.

I have personally recommended easy and cost effective techniques to eliminate the MRSA strain from hospitals, schools and prisons using negative ion, UV & HEPA Air Purification Systems and cleaning with hydrogen peroxide or a silver solution. Although I have made numerous recommendations to government officials nothing to date has been done to protect the innocent victim from these MRSA infections.

    I’ve had MRSA 3 times and lost 2 toes, as a Diabetic. Also Staph multiple times and was told by doctors I would always get MRSA now. One toe I had MRSA in a year ago got badly torn and expected MRSA again, but used Lemon Thyme essential oil on it and didn’t get MRSA. All the complications from vancomycin, the tiniitus,(ringing in the ears) and it continues to become more resistant to MRSA worldwide. I too am looking to find the above named plant extracts. Mother Nature has given us what we need, not the pharmaceutical companies.

    Has anyone been able to review the Cork Institute Study by Susan O’Shea showing extracts of Elecampane kill MRSA? I was just wondering what part of the plant they “extracted” and haven’t been able to locate the study for further review. Even the original article from the Ireland paper first reporting the findings is no longer available from that paper’s archives.

    The root of this plant is used as a tincture to be swallowed. I imagine it can also be put right on the wound. I just posted the link to the original Article you mentioned, through a search engine called ‘way back’ for old internet info no longer found through regular search engines. The school is Cork Institute of Technology in Ireland

    Hey Tracie. Off the top of my head, I don’t remember, just call that company and speak directly with them. That’s what I did.

    After numerous outbreaks of MRSA we are looking for something besides antibiotics for they seem to conquer but a reoccurrence happens every 4 months. Where can we buy?

    Thank you

    Hi Angie,

    There are three other things I recommend for MSRA besides these flowers. A good colloidal silver (I recommend Silver Fuzion), Organic Oregano Oil and a product called MMS which is a 28% sodium chlorite formula which converts to chlorine dioxide in the presence of citric acid. It is completely safe to use and one of the most effective weapons against microbes.

    As far as purchasing the flowers I have not yet found good organic sources but please see what you can find online and let me know..

    Thanks Dr. G

    MRSA is definitely a dangerous infection. It’s good to know that something that literally grows in the wild can help with MRSA infections.
