Ingredients
Elecampane root (Inula helenium)
Elecampane has been used specifically for lung conditions in Europe for hundreds of years. Beneficial constituents of elecampane include the sesquiterpene lactone, alantolactone as well as inulin and mucilage, which have expectorant properties. This herb excels when combined with other herbs in a blend, as it offers substantial cough prevention and is an expectorant with a soothing action.
Wild cherry bark (Prunus serotina)
Wild cherry bark is used worldwide as a traditional treatment for coughs and lung inflammation. The bark contains cyanogenic glycosides, particularly prunasin, which research has shown to reduce and relieve coughing fits due to bronchial spasms by stopping spasms of the smooth muscle lining located in the bronchioles. Wild cherry bark also thins mucous membranes, making them easier to remove.
Aerial parts of hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
Its most traditional use is for mild to moderate irritation of the respiratory tract accompanying colds as well as its mild expectorant action due to the volatile oil of hyssop. These properties make it valuable for coughs, asthma and bronchitis.
Anise seed (Pimpinella anisum)
The active constituents in anise are found in the volatile oil of the seed. The oil contains terpenoid anetholes which have antispasmodic properties useful for treating dry or spastic coughs.
Irish moss (Chondrus crispus)
Not only does it nourish and strengthen the respiratory function, but it is also viable in the treatment of irritating cough, bronchitis and many other lung conditions. It has the ability to thin mucous membranes and reduce inflammation of all mucous membranes. Its main role has been to help reduce recovery time after serious lung conditions such as tuberculosis and pneumonia.
Horseradish root, fresh (Amoracia rusticana)
Modern research has revealed that the volatile oils contained in horseradish have substantial antibiotic benefits that may explain its value in treating respiratory tract infections. This herb has expectorant properties and also acts as a nasal and bronchial dilator.
