Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) is a traditional herb long used for its powerful effects on the respiratory and digestive systems. Known as one of the oldest natural cough remedies, horehound helps to clear mucus, soothe sore throats, and ease persistent coughs. As a bitter herb, it also stimulates digestion and supports liver function—making it a dual-purpose herbal ally.
