Respiratory System Tincture

Tincture for a Healthy Respiratory System

Licorice root – In a lab study, glycyrrhizin, the main active ingredient in licorice root, was found to have the potential to improve the effectiveness of bronchodilators in people with both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Licorice has the compounds to stop viral respiratory infections, and is a tranquilizer meaning it softens the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs, and loosens phlegm while reducing inflammation.

Mullein – like licorice, contains compounds that thin out phlegm making it easier to cough up. It too has anti-inflammatory properties and helps to relax muscles in the respiratory tract, making this a great herb for those struggling with pulmonary disease, asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, RSV, Covid, etc. Mullein contains mucilage, a sticky substance that coats and protects the airway passages and helps to keep them moist.

Horehound – another anti-inflammatory is also a relaxant of the smooth muscles of the bronchus while at the same time promoting mucus production. Horehound has been used as an effective respiratory tonic since the time of ancient Egypt. Today, it continues to be a popular remedy to soothe the throat, promote easy breathing, and support healthy bronchial passages.

Osha Root – the root contains compounds that too act as a natural expectorant, helping to loosen and expel mucus from the respiratory tract as well as an anti-inflammatory, but for this tincture, it has been primarily added for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal features that to help support the health of the whole body, but especially for the respiratory.

Green Tea – contains many antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation in the lungs, including protection from the harmful effects of environmental inhalants including cigarette smoke. These compounds present in green tea stop the rapid growth of viruses in the upper respiratory tract by forming a protective barrier in the pharynx and physically binding to and flushing out viruses.

Bilberry – has been added here for capillary health. Strengthening capillary walls and assisting overall circulation is key to a healthy exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide and metabolic waste in the respiratory system.
