The active principles of these plants have been extracted, evaluated, and standardized, resulting in a reliable and reproducible product, properly studied, manufactured, and controlled.
MARSHMALLOW Althaea officinalis L. Like its relative mallow, marshmallow is all sweetness and softness. Even its leaves are delicately velvety with a fine fuzz. Dioscorides recommended it in the 1st century AD and it has been used since then. The plant can reach up to 2 meters in height. The parts used are the root, flowers, and leaves. All parts of the plant, especially the root, contain mucilage, pectin, mineral salts, and vitamin C. Its properties are the same as those of mallow, but more intense due to its higher mucilage content. Both the leaves and the root are indicated in case of inflammation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, and dry cough associated with pharyngitis. The abundance of mucilage produces a coating of the mucosa, especially at the oropharyngeal level, protecting it from local inflammations by forming a protective layer.
THYME Thymus vulgaris L. Thyme is an intricate shrub up to 40 cm tall, with gray color and woody and tortuous stems. Widely distributed in the Mediterranean region, in dry shrubs, and frequently cultivated. The pleasant fragrance of thyme caught the attention of the ancient Egyptians, who used it in the preparation of embalming ointments for its ability to prevent microbial proliferation. The active part of the plant is the flowering tops. The main active principles are: - Essential oil (0.8-2.5%): Monoterpenes, terpene esters, terpene phenols - thymol, carvacrol - Polyphenolic compounds: phenylcarboxylic acids, flavonoids, tannins. - Triterpenes. - Bitter principle. - Saponins. Thyme is appropriate in several cases: As an antiseptic. The essential oil has a higher antiseptic power than hydrogen peroxide. In the 19th century, when antibiotics were not yet known, it was considered the "disinfectant of the poor". Its antimicrobial action is enhanced by its ability to stimulate leukocytosis (increase in white blood cells), with the advantage of not depressing the immune system. Thyme is highly indicated in respiratory system disorders due to its expectorant, antitussive, and balsamic properties, which, combined with its antiseptic power, make it very useful in sinusitis, laryngitis, colds, asthma, and cough. Its consumption is recommended during flu epidemics.
SUNDEW Drosera longifolia Small plant that grows in humid and mountainous areas. The leaves grow close to the ground in a rosette and are covered with sticky hairs that trap insects. The aerial part of the plant is used. The whole plant contains naphthoquinones, which provide it with antitussive, antibiotic, and antispasmodic actions. It has been proven to be effective against certain bacteria. Therefore, it is an excellent remedy against dry or irritative cough caused by pharyngitis, laryngitis, or tracheitis. It is highly indicated in cases of whooping cough and asthma. In acute and chronic bronchitis, sundew soothes cough and promotes expectoration.
HAWTHORN Crataegus monogyna Jacq. Hawthorn has always been highly valued as a remedy. However, the empirical knowledge about it could not be scientifically proven until the 19th century. Jennings and other American doctors of
