Lung Loving Herbs to Support Respiratory Health
Supporting both the upper and lower respiratory systems herbally can be done with either an herbal formula like Lung Support, Breathe Light, or a single herb with an affinity for the lungs. Our all-time favorites for specifically targeting the lungs are elecampane, lobelia, osha, ground ivy, goldenrod, plantain, usnea, and horehound.
Pine Needle Respiratory Ease Syrup
Making pine needle respiratory syrup is super easy and essentially no more work than making a very strong pine tea and then 'holding' it with good quality, preferably raw, local honey. Pine is an expectorant for thinning and moving mucous in the lungs. It's warming, somewhat drying, and has a sweet and sour flavor blend that can only be described as piney.
