General findings of nutritional science
Essential oils in a highly concentrated form are found in thyme, fennel, spruce, elder, and aniseed. They strengthen the immune system and have antimicrobial properties, thereby considerably reducing the risk of respiratory disease. The oils also have an anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic and mucolytic effect, especially in the bronchial region. By the mucolytic component, the mucus will become liquefied and transportable. Finally, the anti-inflammatory component reduces coughing fits.
Mucins derive from marshmallow, coltsfoot, carob, and ribwort build a protective layer on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. They reduce proneness to diseases (particularly in allergy to dust) and give quick relief in case of inflammation.
Tannins effect a change in the mucous membranes of mouth and throat, so that it is more difficult for pathogenic organisms to remain there. Marshmallow, coltsfoot, elder, and oak have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect on the throat.
Flavonoids are particularly found in coltsfoot, liquorice and elder, and inhibit viral growth.
Carotinoids from nettle and coltsfoot are converted to vitamin A, a vitamin which stabilises the immune defence and increases the regenerative capacity of mucous membrane cells.
Vitamin C abundant in spruce and nettle stimulates the body‘s defences.
Saponins (in liquorice root) change the mucus consistency and ease its discharge by coughing.
Lichen acids from Iceland moss have a significant antibacterial effect and thus protect the respiratory system from infections.
INFO BOX
Cough herbs for horses
When horses cough, the source of the problem should always be examined very carefully. Over half of the horses in our latitudes suffer from breathing problems, which are often chronic. A detailed diagnosis by the veterinarian provides information about the form of the disease. The main focus during the treatment will be on avoiding dust (washing hay, avoiding dusty riding or sandy areas) and getting plenty of exercise in the fresh air. The additional administration of expectorant and revitalizing herbs supports and relaxes the coughing horse's respiratory function. In addition, the secondary plant substances in cough herbs improve the immune system and thus prevent infection.
