Lomatium - Traditional Respiratory Support
Lomatium
is an herb similar to the parsley or dill plant. It is a member of the
family, umbellifereae. It grows in the Western United States and was used
extensively by the American Indians in the treatment of many types of
respiratory ailments, including pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis, and hay
fever. It has also been helpful for urinary infections. Because of its
anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, it may be useful in the treatment
of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There has not been much formal scientific
research on Lomatium, but its success has been reported by many people
and has prompted some naturopaths to call for clinical studies to examine
its effect on pneumonia.
