8 oz - ZIN: 427741 - Ancient Greeks reportedly relied on horehound (Marrabium vulgare) to help support mad-dog bite, which explains the "hound" in this plant's name. But over time, it has been this herb's role as a bodily aid for respiratory maintenance that has made it popular. Soothing teas, lozenges, and syrups concocted from its wooly leaves stimulate the body's capacity to keep airways clear and the respiratory tract functioning normally. Many people like the somewhat bitter, apple-like flavor of horehound, a member of the mint family. Horehound is native to Europe but now grows in many parts of the world including North America.
