5 Herbs for Lung & Respiratory Health

Breathe Easy: The 5 Best Herbs for Lung & Respiratory Health

Breathing—it's something we do without thinking, yet our lungs work tirelessly to keep us thriving. Every inhale feeds your body with oxygen, every exhale clears out waste, and along the way, they filter out pollutants, allergens, and all kinds of airborne gunk. Whether you’re navigating city smog, seasonal sniffles, recovering from smoking or past smoke exposure, or just want to keep your respiratory system in top shape, a little herbal support can go a long way. Here are five powerhouse herbs that have long been used to support lung function, clear stagnation, and promote deep, easy breathing—each one thoughtfully blended into our Elderberry Lung Support tonic.

1. Mullein: The Lungs’ Best Friend
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) has been treasured for centuries as a go-to herb for respiratory wellness. This gentle yet powerful botanical helps soothe irritation, promote clear airways, and support deep breathing. It’s known for its ability to break up mucus while simultaneously calming dry, scratchy throats—perfect for when your lungs need a little extra love.

2. Marshmallow Root: The Ultimate Moisturizer
Nope, not the campfire treat! Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) is a demulcent, meaning it creates a soothing, protective layer over delicate respiratory tissues. If your throat feels raw or irritated, marshmallow root comes to the rescue, offering comfort and hydration while supporting overall lung health. Think of it like a hydrating mask—but for your airways.

3. Elderberry: Immune & Respiratory Support in One
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is most notable for supporting immune function, but did you know it also benefits the lungs? Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, elderberry helps maintain respiratory wellness while offering powerful seasonal support. It’s like a little shield for your immune and respiratory system, protecting against environmental stressors.

4. Elderflower: The Gentle Decongestant
Elderflower, the delicate bloom of the elderberry plant, works hand-in-hand with its fruit to support respiratory health. This light, aromatic herb has traditionally been used to open up the airways, making it easier to breathe freely. It’s a staple in traditional herbalism for promoting clear sinuses and balanced seasonal wellness.

5. Rosehips: Vitamin C for Resilient Lungs
Rosehips (Rosa canina) are tiny but mighty, packed with a potent dose of vitamin C and antioxidants that help keep your immune and respiratory systems in top shape. These bright red fruits support lung resilience, making them the perfect addition to a daily tonic for long-term wellness.
