Horehound Herb Organic

Horehound: Marrubium vulgare

Why Horehound? Horehound is a very useful bitter herb that can help support a normal, healthy respiratory system. Horehound can also stimulate normal digestion and perspiration, making it a cleansing, detoxifying herb.* Note that horehound should not be used during pregnancy.

Wellness Support: Horehound is a very bitter herb, and we recommend pairing it with an aromatic or corrective herb such as anise Pimpinella anisum (L.), licorice Glycyrrhiza glabra (L.), or peppermint Mentha ×piperita (L.). Horehound can be prepared with honey to make a candy, and it is a very useful herb for supporting healthy respiratory and digestive systems*. It should not be used during pregnancy.
