"If you suffer from chronic respiratory issues, such as asthma, chest congestion, chronic bronchitis, or allergies, take comfort in some of the wonderful lung tonic herbs you can grow in your backyard: mullein (Verbascum thapsus), horehound (Marrubium vulgare), wild cherry (Prunus serotina), marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), and plantain (Plantago major). Each has a different role to play in respiratory health, from clearing coughs to soothing and opening the lungs. So, consider each plant’s actions to choose the best ones for you. Other lung herbs include elecampane (Inula helenium), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), peppermint (Mentha x piperita), Korean mint (Agastache rugosa), bee balm (Monarda spp.), and New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae).
Remember that some respiratory conditions warrant immediate medical attention, including serious infections, difficulty breathing, and pressure that feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest. You can certainly use herbs concomitantly, but medications remain best for acute asthma attacks and pneumonia."
Herbal Respiratory Relief Recipes Allergy tincture, cough syrup, wild cherry honey, and lung tea are your go-to herbal respiratory recipes to ease your winter woes.

Our Story
Apothecaries are the original pharmacies that arose in 19th Century Victorian England. Dispensing 'materia medica', they often operated through a retail shop which also sold to***co & various patent medicines. Designed to be a fundraising extension for projects of ReThink Red Deer, The Root Cellar: ecoStore & Apothecary helps demonstrate the practice of modern-day urban homesteading and the revitalizing of local economies. Our soil building products, heirloom seeds (via Seed Savers Exchange), locally-grown produce, and re-skilling workshops and apprenticeships help rebuild community resiliency, practical skill sets, and the relationships that are vital to a flourishing local economy.
