When it comes to looking after our health, we often think about diet, exercise, and sleep. But there’s one area that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves — our lungs. Every breath we take fuels our body with the oxygen it needs, so supporting lung and respiratory health is an important part of overall wellbeing.
One way many people choose to do this is by turning to traditional herbal remedies. For centuries, plants have been used to help maintain comfort and balance in the chest, and some of these herbs are still valued today. One example is lungwort, a herb with a very long history of use.
What is Lungwort?
Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis) is a spotted leaf plant that has been associated with lung health since ancient times. The name itself comes from the Latin “pulmo,” meaning lung. For generations it has been included in herbal preparations designed to support breathing comfort and chest health.
On its own, however, lungwort can be quite strong. That’s why it’s often blended with other herbs in carefully balanced formulas, creating supplements that are more gentle, rounded, and effective as part of a daily wellness routine.
Introducing Lungwort Complex®
At Twenty First Century Herbs, we created Lungwort Complex® as a way to bring together lungwort with a selection of other herbs that have also been valued in traditional herbal practice. This blend was first developed in our clinic, refined over the years, and has since become one of our best-loved supplements.
The formula includes:
-
Lungwort – the star ingredient, long associated with respiratory support
-
Mullein Leaf – traditionally used for comfort and clarity in the airways
-
Elecampane – valued for centuries in herbal traditions
-
Thyme – a well-known kitchen herb with a history of use in breathing comfort
-
Golden Seal – a plant often used to help balance and soothe
-
Vitamin C – contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress
It’s the combination of these ingredients that makes Lungwort Complex® unique. Rather than focusing on one herb alone, the formula takes a more holistic approach — supporting the lungs and the immune system in tandem.
Why Choose a Herbal Approach?
Herbal supplements are often chosen because they feel like a more natural way to support the body. While modern medicine is invaluable, traditional herbs can play a role in everyday wellness routines too. For many people, they offer a gentle, balanced option that can be taken regularly.
A Simple Addition to Your Routine
Lungwort Complex® comes in easy-to-take vegan capsules, made in the UK to high quality standards. Whether you’re looking to add more herbal support into your lifestyle, or simply want to try something trusted by thousands of others, it’s a simple step towards caring for your lungs and breathing.
