Horehound

Also known as white horehound, this hardy perennial herb is a member of the mint family, native to Africa, Asia, and Europe, and now naturalized in many parts of the world, including North America. Horehound is traditionally valued for its high mucilage content, making it a popular choice for soothing herbal teas. It’s also commonly used in homemade syrups and natural throat lozenges to help ease occasional coughs and throat irritation.
