This product may have the following benefits

May help symptoms of:

  • Congestion and inflammation of the mucous membranes
  • Catarrh
  • Middle ear infections (otitis media)
  • Recurrent ear infections
  • Glue ear

Otitis media (middle ear infection) is a very common childhood condition affecting 20% to 40% of children under six years of age.

The Eustachian tube regulates pressure in, and clears fluid from, the middle ear. Obstruction of the Eustachian tube leads first to the build up of fluid and then, if bacteria start to grow, bacterial infection.

Glue ear is the result of chronic otitis media, and leads to hearing loss through fluid accumulation in the middle ear.

Diet is often relevant in catarrhal conditions, with white flour, sugar and dairy foods being common culprits. Plantago, through its anticatarrhal action, helps disperse accumulated congestion.

Recent research has indicated that Plantago may cause aversion to smoking.

Herbs
For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even some in the medical community are starting to accept them.

Many of today’s medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”.

Some of the herbs available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others are meticulously cultivated on herb farms.
