Why We Love It
Known for its soothing effect on the respiratory system, ribwort can help ease coughs, sinus irritation, and mild asthma symptoms. Naturally anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, it supports skin healing for minor cuts, bug bites, stings, and rashes.
Gentle on the digestive system, it’s often used to help calm gut inflammation and discomfort. Also used historically as a mild astringent and tissue tonic.
