Lung Formula Tincture

Our Lung Formula Tincture is a potent synergistic blend of herbal extracts, handcrafted using herbs historically called upon as a remedy for their willingness to support lung health.

Here on the farm, we use this Lung Formula for lung clearing (as an expectorant), for respiratory system protection, and for healing.

GIFTS OF THE HERBS:

—Elecampane Root (Inula helenium)
• Role in Lung Support: Elecampane is a powerful herb for lung health and has been called upon traditionally as an expectorant and antimicrobial to help clear mucus from the respiratory tract. It is especially helpful for wet coughs where there is excess mucus. Elecampane also has antibacterial properties, making it effective for bronchial infections and other respiratory issues.
• Active Constituents: Inulin, alantolactone, helenin
• Actions: Expectorant, antimicrobial, soothing to the respiratory tract

—Horehound Leaves & Flowers (Marrubium vulgare)
• Role in Lung Support: Horehound is well known expectorant, helping to break up phlegm and clear mucus from the lungs. It is especially useful for productive coughs and helps stimulate the flow of mucus to clear out the respiratory tract. Horehound also has a bitter quality, which can stimulate digestion and improve overall circulation, indirectly supporting lung health by enhancing systemic detoxification.
• Active Constituents: Marrubiin, flavonoids, tannins
• Actions: Expectorant, bitter tonic, antispasmodic

—Mullein Leaf (Verbascum thapsus)
• Role in Lung Support: Mullein is highly regarded for its ability to soothe irritated lungs and calm dry, hacking coughs. It’s both a demulcent (moistens and soothes mucous membranes) and a mild expectorant, making it ideal for dry coughs or inflamed respiratory tissues. Mullein is a gentle yet effective herb for long-term respiratory health, as it can support the lungs without overstimulation.
• Active Constituents: Saponins, mucilage, flavonoids
• Actions: Demulcent, expectorant, anti-inflammatory

—Hyssop Leaves & Flowers (Hyssopus officinalis)
• Role in Lung Support: Hyssop is a stimulating expectorant that helps to dislodge mucus from the lungs and airways. It is particularly helpful for chronic lung conditions where there is congestion. Hyssop also has antiviral and antimicrobial properties, making it useful for clearing respiratory infections. It’s an ideal herb for bronchitis, colds, and flu, and its warming and stimulating properties support circulation and clearing congestion. It is also highly useful in alleviating asthma-like symptoms.
• Active Constituents: Tannins, thujone, flavonoids, volatile oils
• Actions: Expectorant, antiviral, antimicrobial, stimulating, anti-inflammatory

—Plantain Leaves (Plantago major)
• Role in Lung Support: Plantain is both demulcent and anti-inflammatory, making it excellent for soothing inflamed mucous membranes in the respiratory tract. It’s ideal for dry, irritated coughs and helps reduce inflammation in the lungs. Plantain is also mildly expectorant and astringent, helping to tighten and tone mucous membranes while still promoting the movement of mucus. It is particularly useful in the case of chronic bronchitis.
• Active Constituents: Mucilage, iridoid glycosides, tannins
• Actions: Demulcent, anti-inflammatory, mild expectorant, astringent

—Thyme Leaves (Thymus vulgaris)
• Role in Lung Support: Thyme is a powerful antimicrobial and expectorant herb that helps clear the lungs of bacterial or viral infections. It’s particularly effective for upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, and coughs. Thyme’s essential oils (most notably thymol) have strong antiseptic properties, making it an excellent herb for both treating infections and clearing mucus from the respiratory tract. It also has antispasmodic properties, which can help calm spasms in the bronchi.
• Active Constituents: Thymol, carvacrol, flavonoids
• Actions: Antimicrobial, expectorant, antispasmodic, antiseptic
