Cough Elixir

Do you or a loved one have a cough* that just won’t go away? Herbs can help! Our Cough Elixir brings a vital warm stimulation to the lungs to break up and loosen mucous and cough that crud up! Elecampane, osha, and Angelica are a fiercely pungent and aromatic lead trio, warming, strengthening, and exciting the lungs. While each herb contributes antimicrobial properties, we’ve added usnea for an extra potent antimicrobial zing right to the lungs.  

This bittersweet elixir may also be used as a strengthening respiratory tonic, an insurance policy against pneumonia, as well an effective remedy for pnemonia. This formula evolved from a blend I made for someone experiencing recurrent pneumonia. Like clockwork, he got pneumonia every winter. He took the formula through the winter as a preventative respiratory tonic--no pneumonia! As far as I know, he hasn't had pneumonia since. As a respiratory tonic, Cough Elixir pairs well with the Medicinal Mushroom Medley deep immune tonic, to strengthen immunity.

To those who appreciate aromatic bitter flavors, this will be a delicious treat—ginger and pine round out its rich, warm flavor. The aromatics meld beautifully with honey and sugar cane alcohol, tasting like a cordial or liqueur. And to some, well, it is bitter, so some folks won’t like the flavor. This formula could also be used “off label” in a cocktail. 

We have crafted our Cough Elixir from field-fresh locally grown herbs, as well as wild-harvested osha from a Native land steward wild tending an extremely abundant osha plant community.

*Note: If you have a dry cough, you’ll want to moisten the lungs before you expectorate. A little marshmallow tea is just the thing for that. Send us a note if you need that too.
