Pleurisy Root Essence

Used by Native Americans since before the Europeans arrived to treat lung disorders, including pleurisy, pain when breathing, pneumonia, colds, flu, bronchitis, etc. It is considered a specific for chest congestion with thick mucus and a tight feeling. Pleurisy root is also used to promote sweating and opening of the lung capillaries, allowing more moisture to enter the lungs to thin the mucus, which can then be expelled more easily.
