Helpful Info about herbs for the Respiratory System

Mullein

Both the leaves and flowers contain mucilage, which is soothing to irritated membranes. It also has saponins, which make coughs more productive. Research has shown that the herb has strong anti-inflammatory activity, and lab studies suggest that mullein flower infusions have antiviral properties, as well.

White Sage

Sage is an herb that has not only been used as a flavoring but also used for medicinal and health purposes. Sage (Salvia officinalis) has astringent, antiseptic, and antibacterial qualities, and this herb has a long history of use for sore throats, coughs, and mouth inflammations. The name Salvia comes from the Latin word meaning “to save,” or “to heal,” referring to sage’s ability to heal the body. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years and is still considered a useful healing plant today.

Licorice root

Licorice is recommended to treat respiratory problems, helping the body produce healthy mucus. Increasing phlegm production may seem counterintuitive to a healthy bronchial system. However, the opposite is true. The production of clean, healthy phlegm keeps the respiratory system functioning without old, sticky mucus clogging it.

Lobelia

Lobelia has compounds that are known to have beneficial effects on the respiratory tract including stimulating breathing and supporting the cough reflex. Lobelia contains chemicals that might thin mucus (phlegm) to make it easier to cough up (expectorate) and thus aid in easier breathing.

Marshmallow root

Marshmallow is sometimes used to form a protective layer on the skin and lining of the digestive tract. It also contains chemicals that might decrease cough and fight infections. Marshmallow Root has anti-inflammatory effects that work against both acute and chronic inflammation.

Amor seco

Amor Seco is known to be rich in flavonoids, alkaloids, and soyasaponins. These components have therapeutic actions for asthma. Historically it has been used to block histamine, reduce inflammation, dilate the bronchial and block allergies.

Embauba

In herbal medicine Embauba has been used for all types of respiratory complaints. Used traditionally for its anti-inflammatory properties-typically for rheumatic, kidney and lung inflammations.

Magnesium

Magnesium supports respiratory health by relaxing airway smooth muscles and reducing inflammation. It reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in the lungs.

Jergon sacha

Jergon Sacha is commonly used for upper respiratory problems including cough, bronchitis and asthma.
