Description
White Horehound when fresh has a strong, slightly musky odor and a warm, bitter, astringent, slightly nauseous taste. It contains a volatile oil, gallic acid and a bitter principle which is soluble in water and in alcohol. The juice is rich in tannin.
Horehound is gathered for medical purposes at the time of flowering and is dried in the shade. It has been regarded as a strong depurative. The juice has been recommended for very different illnesses, but particularly for chest complaints. The infusion has been recommended for irritation in the bronchia, chronic catarrh, mercurial salivation, chlorosis and anemia.
Although its medicinal value may have been exaggerated, we seem now to have gone to the other extreme by more or less banishing it from medical use.
Specialists of this plant regard it as a means of stimulating the digestive organs. Culpeper tells us: "It is an herb of Mercury. It helps to expectorate tough phlegm from the chest. It is given to women to bring down their courses, to expel the afterbirth...as also to persons who have taken poison."
