Pneumonanthe punctata

Pneumonanthe punctata, also known as Lungwort, is a perennial plant native to Europe and Asia, characterized by its unique leaves with spots or patches that resemble the lungs, which gave it its common name.

Traditionally, Lungwort has been used in herbal medicine to treat various respiratory issues, such as bronchitis, coughs, and tuberculosis, due to its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The health benefits of Pneumonanthe punctata include its ability to soothe and calm the respiratory system, reducing inflammation and promoting the removal of mucus, making it a natural remedy for asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Lungwort can be prepared as a tea, decoction, or tincture, and is often combined with other herbs in traditional medicine to enhance its therapeutic effects.
