Abstract

White horehound (Marrubium vulgare) has been traditionally used in Europe and the Mediterranean for respiratory diseases (acute/chronic bronchitis, colds, asthma), lack of appetite, dyspepsia, type II diabetes and as an antihypertensive. This review critically analyses the quality of the scientific evidence behind these ethnopharmacological uses of horehound.
