Lungwort, Pulmonaria Officinalis, is an appropriately named plant popularly used to treat a host of respiratory issues including colds, coughs, bronchitis and asthma.

Lungwort contains a variety of chemical compounds which give the plant its medicinal uses. These compounds include saponins, antioxidant flavonoids like quercetin as well as allantoin and tannic acid. It is thought to have antibiotic, wound healing and mild diuretic properties giving the herb a range of potential medicinal uses.

A Bulgarian study published in 2005 found that tea made from lungwort contained a high level of various phenolic compounds and other beneficial antioxidants.

Drinking a soothing cup of lungwort tea can also help relieve a number of digestive and gastrointestinal problems including indigestion and diarrhea. Lungwort has mild diuretic properties which may help relieve the discomfort of bloating from excess water build-up while its astringent properties are responsible for treating bouts of diarrhea.

Lungwort can also be applied topically to the skin to help treat minor wounds and cuts. It contains a chemical compound called allantoin that is known for its ability to heal tissue damage and expedite wound healing.
