Lungwort (Pulmonaria Officinalis)

The lung healer — chronic cough, bronchial inflammation, and respiratory mucus clearance from a traditional European chest herb.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis) takes its name from the doctrine of signatures — its spotted leaves resembling lung tissue — but its therapeutic value is more than symbolic. Rich in allantoin, mucilage, tannins, and saponins, it soothes bronchial inflammation, promotes the expulsion of mucus, and has demonstrable antibacterial and astringent properties that make it a valuable herb for chronic coughs, bronchitis, and upper respiratory tract infections.
