[Inula helenium] The root of this plant has long been seen as a gently warming and tonic herb for the respiratory system. The warming effect, together with its ability to gently stimulate the clearing of mucus, makes it a wonderful herb to treat all respiratory infections, coughs and allergies specific to the lungs. Being mildly bitter, it also stimulates the appetite, aiding in recovery from illness by improving digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
