HOREHOUND – TAKING THE BARK OUT OF COUGHS, COLDS AND BRONCHIAL WOES Horehound has been considered one of the foremost remedies for coughs and lung conditions in a wide range of cultures from as early as ancient Egyptian times. To this day, horehound remains a popular ingredient in cough syrups and lozenges. Horehound contains a compound called marrubiin, which has been found to possess antiviral and antibacterial properties. Marrubiin also has valuable expectorant qualities, which means that it promotes the secretion of mucus and phlegm—a great advantage when it comes to treating coughs. Health Canada has given its formal approval to St. Francis Herb Farm’s product, “Horehound” (NPN 80016173). While there is much research yet to be done on the therapeutic qualities of this herb, for the present Health Canada has officially endorsed the following uses:
