Herb Pharm
Overview
Horehound Flowering Aerial Parts Extract is traditionally used for its expectorant and digestive properties. It contains marrubiin, which may have anti-inflammatory effects. However, current clinical evidence supporting its use for any specific health benefit is limited. While a small study suggests potential benefits for diabetes management, more robust research is necessary to confirm these effects.
