This is a great remedy for the upcoming cold season. It is very useful in treating coughs, colds, bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. It provides excellent respiratory and lung support.

It is especially useful in loosening up dry coughs that cause that tight feeling in the chest and can make breathing difficult. Horehound opens up the respiratory track to aide in easier breathing. This is especially useful at night time when it can be hard to sleep.

I have found that elevating my kids a little bit in bed can help a lot in terms of comfort.

The remedy itself has a warming calming effect and is anti spasmodic in nature. This is a great remedy for kids as it is super gentle as well as very effective in treating everyday coughs and colds without traditional medicines which might make a child drowsy.

The ingredients of this tincture are; extract of mullein leaf, astragulus root, horehound herb, garden sage, orange peel, Oregon grape root and ginger root. It also contains Kosher coconut oil/palm kernel oil, glycerin, purified water and citric acid. This remedy is kosher and is made with certified organic and ethically wild crafted herbs. It is very high quality and pretty much the only horehound remedy especially geared towards kids on the market.

The actions and indications of the herbs this remedy contains are as follows;

Horehound- Horehound is an expectorant and antispasmodic. This is the main ingredient in this remedy because horehound soothes the respiratory tract and is good for all respiratory ailments.

Ginger root- Ginger root is known for it's warming properties and helps soothe your child. Useful in treating dry coughs and provides instant relief from irritation.

Garden Sage- Sage is best known for it's decongestant qualities in treating the common cold and respiratory ailments.

Astragalus root- Astragalus is a Chinese herb. It is known to be even more effective than Echinacea for providing immune support. It is both immune boosting while treating upper respiratory infections effectively.
