Product Description
Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis) is one of the first plants to flower in the early spring in its native habitats. It has a high mucilage content and this makes it useful in the treatment of chest conditions, being of particular benefit in cases of chronic bronchitis. In the middle ages, lungwort was sometimes thought to be dangerous because the spots on the leaves looked like a diseased lung; today we know that lungwort has a high mucilage content, making it quite useful in treating chest and throat complaints. It has been used to treat coughs, including whooping cough, asthma and coughs arising from tuberculosis. It combines well with other herbs and plants like coltsfoot in cold and cough remedies. An effective demulcent and expectorant herb, Coltsfoot (Tussilago Farfara) is one of the most popular European remedies for the treatment of a wide range of chest complaints. The leaves are commonly used in Europe, though the flowering stems (which contain higher levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids) are preferred in China. They are rich in mucilage and are the main parts used, though the root is also sometimes employed. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids have a toxic effect upon the liver, but are largely destroyed when the plant is boiled to make a decoction. Some caution should be employed in the use of this remedy - the leaves should not be used for more than 4 - 6 weeks at a time, the herb should not be taken whilst pregnant or breast-feeding and it should not be given to children under the age of six. The plant is antitussive, astringent, demulcent, emollient, expectorant, stimulant and tonic. It is widely used in the treatment of coughs and respiratory problems. The plant is of particular use in the treatment of chronic emphysema and silicosis, helping to relieve the persistent cough associated with these conditions. A bitter, tonic and diaphoretic preparation can be obtained from the root.
