How It Works

Black Cohosh

Black cohosh aids the structural system and helps to relax muscle spasms, including spasms in the chest muscles that can trigger coughing. Black cohosh also helps calm the nervous system and eases nervous tension. Black cohosh contains salicylic acid which can provide relief from aches and discomfort. Regardless of its effectiveness with other complaints like colds or certain lung conditions, the most well-known use of black cohosh always came back to female glandular and reproductive health.

Chickweed

Chickweed is an edible and nutritious plant, containing many important nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, carotenoids, calcium, iron and other minerals. Found primarily in North America and Europe, chickweed has been used traditionally to support the urinary and glandular systems. Chickweed has been used for a variety of digestive and intestinal complaints, immune challenges, and respiratory tract irritations.

Goldenseal

Often called ‘the King of mucous membranes’ goldenseal is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to reduce excess mucus and relive mild upper respiratory tract congestion. Goldenseal’s immune-supporting properties are largely due to its hydrastine, berberine and canadine alkaloids. These active ingredients support the mucous membranes that line the respiratory and digestive tracts, helping the body maintain strong immunity and providing respiratory system support. Berberine has also been shown to promote gut health.

Passionflower

Passionflower is widely pursued for its variety of relaxing benefits. The flavonoids in passionflower are believed to support healthy nervous system function and provide a sense of calm. Passionflower leaves have been used traditionally as a mild calmative. In fact, Algonquin Indians used passionflower tea to help soothe their nerves. Passionflower supports the nervous system in a variety of ways. Many have found that it helps with relaxation of tense muscles. It is commonly used to promote a restful night’s sleep.

Licorice Root

Ancient Greeks and Romans used licorice root for its numerous health benefits. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has relied on licorice root to provide respiratory, digestive and reproductive system support. Licorice root has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance and for promoting well-being. Traditional western herbalists use licorice root as a general tonic and as an expectorant to clear the respiratory tract and to help the body combat cough. Licorice root helps to loosen and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.

Valerian

Valerian root helps with relaxation and supports sleep. It's been used for occasional sleeplessness for over 1,000 years. Valerians's ability to help relax the central nervous system, promote feelings of calm, decrease levels of anxiousness and stress, and enhance sleep are known to millions the world over. Plus, valerian helps relax tense, cramping muscles and may ease joint discomfort.
