Botanical Name: Marrubium vulgare
Also known as: White Horehound
Country of Origin: Albania, Poland, Hungary
Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) has held a respected place in traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years. As far back as ancient Egypt, this time-honored herb was valued for its ability to soothe the throat, support bronchial health, and promote healthy lung function.
Horehound for Throat & Respiratory Support
During the Middle Ages, renowned herbalists John Gerard and Nicholas Culpepper praised horehound tea and syrup for respiratory wellness. After the plant became naturalized in North America, Indigenous groups, including the Cherokee and Navajo, continued to rely on horehound as part of their traditional herbal practices.
Today, horehound candy, syrup, and tea remain trusted home remedies for upper respiratory comfort. Horehound is often blended with other soothing herbs such as Marshmallow Root, Mullein, and Slippery Elm to provide gentle, traditional respiratory support.
Horehound as a Bitter Digestive Tonic
Horehound is also well known as a classic bitter herb. One of its key natural constituents, marrubiin, is believed to contribute to both its respiratory benefits and its bitter activity, which has traditionally been used to support healthy digestion and stimulate appetite.
