White Horehound (Marrubium vulgare L.) also known as Marrubium, Hoarhound, Bonhomme, Common Horehound, Houndsbane, Soldier’s Tea, Ku Bo He, Szanta is bitter taste herb and it has long history of traditional use.

The herb has been documented as a medicine dating all the way back to the 1st century B.C. Egyptian priests referred to the herb as “Seed of Horus”, which may be where its modern name, horehound derives from. The ancient Egyptians used the herb as an antidote for poison and legends say they also used the herb in ceremonial rituals. In medieval Europe it was used to ward off spells by witches.

The 16th century English herbalist, John Gerard, described the herb as an antidote to poison and a syrup for respiratory infections.

The 17th century English herbalist Culpeper said, “There is a syrup made of this plant which I would recommend as an excellent help to evacuate tough phlegm and cold rheum from the lungs of aged person, especially those who are asthmatic and short winded.”

A decoction of the roots were used by the Navajo as a healing herb for before and after childbirth.
