Horehound Herb Cut is a dried bitter herb traditionally used in respiratory and digestive herbal preparations. It is commonly used to help loosen thick mucus and support easier coughing in non-productive cough routines. Horehound is also valued as a bitter herb for indigestion, bloating and loss of appetite. The cut format is straightforward to prepare as a tea and works well in chest-support and bitter tonic blends.
♡ Why we love it: Horehound is a classic old-apothecary herb with a strong, purposeful bitter profile. It is especially useful in traditional cough and chest-support blends where a functional, no-fuss cut herb is needed.
