Horehound Herb Tea

Taking its name from Horus, the Egyptian God of Sky and Light, 
this anciant Greek herb Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) has been 
widely used for its health benefits. It is best known as an 
old-fashioned flavoring and either honey or sugar can be added 
to Horehound tea or extract, to make candy or a soothing 
lozenge.

         Introduced from Europe, Horehound now grows 
wild in North america. Used by the Indians, Horehound was 
brought westward by early pioneers and soldiers. It was often 
planted in abundance around newly estaqblished settlements and 
was commonly known then as "soldier tea". It is a perennial 
relative of mint with aromatic, wrinkled leaves and white 
flowers. It grows easily in sandy dry soil and full sun.
