BENEFITS:

Lung Healing
Lungwort lives up to its name! This herb has been administered successfully in cases of nasal congestion, cough, influenza, bronchitis, laryngitis, and tuberculosis. Contemporary herbalist Matthew Wood writes that Lungwort is a particularly effective herb for very advanced cases of respiratory distress, “where the connective tissue supporting the structure of the lungs has started to break down, due to inflammation and weakness.”5
Digestive Issues
Similarly to how it works in the lungs, Lungwort has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract in cases of extreme irritation. The mucilage coats, calms, and cools, while the astringent properties and mineral salts aid in strengthening and feeding the connective tissue. Lungwort is best used in cases of diarrhea, ulcers, intestinal bleeding, hemorrhoid, anal fissures, and the like.
