Respiratory & Lung Support

Demulcents, expectorants, and antispasmodics that clear the airways, soothe irritated throats, and support healthy breathing through seasonal change.

• Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) — Frothy, muscat-scented blossoms used for centuries to break a fever, ease a cold, and bottle the smell of early summer.
• Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) — An ancient sweet root that soothes throats, accelerates gastric ulcer healing, and gently supports adrenal recovery — but only short-term. Long-term or high-dose use raises blood pressure and depletes potassium.
• Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) — A silky, mucilage-rich root that coats and calms irritated mucous membranes — the herbalist's go-to for dry, rasping coughs and sore throats.
• Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) — A tall, velvety-leafed biennial long used as the premier lung herb — soothing dry coughs, loosening mucus, and supporting clear breathing.
• Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) — A natural hybrid with a fierce menthol kick — the most clinically validated herb for IBS and tension headaches.
• Garden Sage (Salvia officinalis) — A silver-leafed Mediterranean shrub long called 'salvia' — for sore throats, hot flashes, and a clear head.
• Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) — A tiny aromatic shrub with an outsized antimicrobial reputation — the classic cough and sore-throat herb.
