Horehound Tincture

Horehound has been around for thousands of years, and is a popular cough and cold remedy used by the ancient Egyptians as well as modern health providers. As an expectorant, it will promote mucus and ease the pain of a dry, non-productive or hacking cough, croup, asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis and earaches. The herb has a positive effect for glandular problems and infectious diseases. The Navajo used this herb as a gynecological aid before and after childbirth. The extract of Horehound has been shown to significantly lower blood glucose in the treatment of diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia. Topically it is a great herbal remedy to treat herpes simplex, eczema, skin eruptions and shingles. 

This is a great herbal remedy for the cold season. Horehound is a well known lung and throat remedy, and is found to be useful as a natural cough suppressant, and has been used for colds and other respiratory ailments. This is a great remedy for kids when coughs and colds make it hard to sleep and traditional medications make the child drowsy during the day. 

Horehound decreases the thickness of phlegm and promotes the secretion of fluids into the bronchial passageways. It impacts the gathered congestion in the throat lining, lungs and sinuses and relieve the headache caused by sinus infection. In fact, as a pain reliever, the marrubium compound in Horehound stimulates the central nervous system and was found in laboratory tests to be more potent than some well-known pain relief medications. 

A bitter tonic, Horehound promotes good digestion and enhances the appetite. It triggers the flow of gastric juices and promotes the production of bile in the gall bladder. These actions can help to promote the working of the stomach and the digestive system as a whole. The stimulation of the central nervous system by marrubium also improves digestion and aids in the absorption of nutrients which eases flatulence, indigestion and bloating. Horehound is considered a mild laxative and is also said to expel worms. Some studies claim that Horehound helps to stop the high and low blood-sugar reactions after eating high-carbohydrate snacks and meals.

Horehound extract is a sedative and antispasmodic. It is used to treat cases of nausea, vomiting (including nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and motion sickness), and nervous indigestion. 

Horehound herbal extract can also alleviate cramps experienced during menstrual cycles, and relaxes muscles. Horehound may be used to promote and regulate the menstrual flow. As well as, its use to assist in the expulsion of the after-birth.  

Horehound is said to have a relaxing effect on heart tissue and is used by some herbalists as a circulatory tonic to help lower blood pressure.

The Horehound herb helps in improving the regularity of cardiac contraction in low doses, but a physician must be consulted before using it in this situation, and larger doses may cause abnormal heartbeat.
