Health Benefits

Used for a long time to make throat lozenges or candies, Horehound was a welcome, tasty medicine to soothe sore throats.

It has both medicinal and culinary uses, although they are closely connected.And no wonder, since it’s a versatile herb, with many medicinal benefits:

Anti-inflammatory Potential

Anti-cancer Effects

Cough Relief

Cholesterol Control

Reduces Toxicity of the Body

Antispasmodic

Menstrual Symptoms

Digestive Aid

Motion Sickness Remedy

Diabetes Treatment

 

Anti-inflammatory Potential

There are a number of ways that white horehound can be consumed or applied to gain its health benefits, including topical mixtures and oral consumption.

For inflammation issues, it can do everything from improve symptoms of arthritis to relieving sore throats, bronchitis and coughing, which is often the result of irritation in the respiratory tracts.Furthermore, white horehound has been connected with reducing constriction in blood vessels, and by lowering this inflammation, can actually improve heart health by helping to reduce blood pressure.

 

Anti-cancer Effects

There are a number of anti-inflammatory effects of white horehound, and in a similar chemical pathway, research has also shown white horehound extract to effectively prevent cell death and reduce the promotion of cancer in cells.

This antioxidant quality has only been shown in relation to colon cancer cells, but ongoing research is looking into other possible applications of the herb’s extract. Antioxidants are able to neutralize or eliminate free radicals, the dangerous byproducts of cellular respiration that can cause cell mutation (into cancerous cells) or apoptosis, spontaneous cell death.

 

Cough Relief

Horehound is an ingredient often found in herbal lozenges and syrups used for the natural treatment of coughs. There’s a good reason why this herb is employed in these natural cough remedies. The major active chemical compound in horehound is called marrubiin. We can likely thank marrubiin for horehound’s expectorant ability. In other words, horehound can help cough sufferers to get rid of that nasty mucus that is clogging up their airways.Research has also shown that horehound has both antispasmodic and analgesic (pain-relieving) effects. These are two more good reasons why it is a great natural cough reliever.

 

Cholesterol Control

Even small doses of white horehound extract, when taken regularly, can considerably reduce overall cholesterol levels. It essentially balances your cholesterol levels, eliminating “bad” cholesterol and keeping your heart free of plaque build-up. By protecting arteries and preventing atherosclerosis, white horehound extract can help to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes, both of which are exacerbated by high cholesterol.

 

Reduces Toxicity of the Body

One of the less well known benefits of white horehound is its ability to induce sweating in those who consume it. This is useful for a number of reasons; if you are ill, “breaking” a fever is often the first step to recovery, while sweating can also eliminate toxins in the body, as well as excess salts, water, fats, and dangerous substances that can cause illness.

 

Antispasmodic

One of the oldest uses of white horehound is as an antispasmodic. If you suffer from seizures, muscle twitches, cramps, or other spasm-related conditions, white horehound can soothe the nervous system and prevent the onset of these attacks. This relaxing nature of the herb has made it popular as a tea, as it can calm the body and mind.

 

Menstrual Symptoms

For women who experience painful menstruation or hormonal disbalance, white horehound can be an effective solution. Many women use the herb to reduce the pain of intense cramps, again due to the soothing nature of the herb’s organic compounds, and also improve mood/reduce mood swings. These hormonal effects are due to the powerful active ingredients in horehound. The herb doesn’t just help you with the painful and uncomfortable symptoms, it goes to and helps your body heal the underlying hormonal imbalance that was causing the problems.

 

Digestive Aid

Researchers also believe that marrubiin is the reason that horehound has a bitter taste. Along with foods like endive and horseradish, horehound is believed to be one of the Bible’s bitter herbs. It’s bitter flavor makes it an excellent choice for improving digestion since plants that taste bitter have been shown to help in managing dyspepsia also known as indigestion or upset stomach.Horehound’s ability to improve saliva and gastric juice output makes it very helpful for increasing the appetite.

 

Motion Sickness Remedy

For some people, symptoms of motion sickness can result from the movement of travel by car, boat or plane. Motion sickness will typically go away when the motion stops. But many people who commonly deal with motion sickness are curious about natural ways to improve their queasy feelings.

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any scientific research to date, but black horehound has been used as a traditional remedy for motion sickness. The recommended dosage is one to two milliliters as a tincture. Or use one to two teaspoons of leaves steeped as a tea, taken three times per day.

 

Diabetes Treatment

Along with lowering overall cholesterol, white horehound has also been closely linked to a reduction in blood sugar levels. Essentially, researchers have shown that when horehound has been introduced to the system, the body is better able to handle large influxes of glucose, without flooding the body with it, resulting in the common sugar rush and crash. Instead, by keeping blood sugar levels in a normal range, white horehound represents a wonderful solution for diabetics who are so heavily impacted by blood sugar fluctuations.

Horehound is the common name of Marrubium vulgare , a small flowering perennial plant that looks a great deal like mint, and is a part of the same family. It also boasts many of the same health benefits as other members of the family, making it an important plant in a number of traditional medicinal practices.

Horehound’s medicinal use is believed to go all the way back to the 1st century B.C. This is when the Roman encyclopaedist Aulus Cornelius Celsus mentions horehound as a natural remedy for respiratory problems in his medical treatise titled De Medicina.

This plant has both medicinal and culinary uses, although they are closely connected. For example, it can be used to make throat lozenges or candies, which are used to soothe sore throats. Horehound beer and tea have also been popularized in some parts of the world.

The plant is native to Europe and parts of Asia, but it has spread widely around the world and can be found throughout the Americas. The mixture of unique organic compounds in white horehound oil makes the plant very powerful, and quite popular with herbalists and alternative medicine users.

Some of the most impressive health benefits of horehound include its ability to protect the immune system, prevent certain types of cancer, treat diabetes, boost heart health, soothe inflammation, eliminate indigestion and gastrointestinal distress, detoxifies the body, and eliminates spasms.

Common Names: White Horehound, Eye of the star, Seed of Horus, Marvel, Bulls’ blood, Houndsbane, Marrubium; Spanish: Marrubio, Manrubio, Mastranso.

Preparation & Dosage

Preparation & Dosage

Preparation: Put a teaspoon of the herb into a 200ml cup of boiled water.Cover it and let it steep for 10 minutes.Strain and drink a cup 2-3 times per day before meals.

Precaution: Although this is a very beneficial herb for generations of alternative medicine practitioners and users, there are a few health concerns. If taken in excess, the effects that white horehound has on the heart can intensify to a dangerous level, and cause arrhythmias. Always use in advised dosage.Also, for those with ulcers or serious stomach issues, white horehound can exacerbate the symptoms. Also, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should not consume horehound, as the powerful blend of chemicals and compounds could be potentially dangerous for infants.
