Lungwort has two broad areas of use. The one that provides
its name is its use in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis,
especially where associated with upper respiratory catarrh.
The other broad area is that related to its astringency. It
is used in the treatment of diarrhea, especially in children,
and in easing hemorrhoids. Externally this plant may be used
to heal cuts and wounds.
Combinations: For lung conditions, this herb may be used
with White Horehound, Coltsfoot or Lobelia.
