Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) — Bulk Herb

Horehound is a traditional bitter herb long associated with protection, clarity, and respiratory and mental support. Used across European, Egyptian, and folk herbal traditions, horehound has been valued both as a physical tonic and as a protective, clearing plant in spiritual work.

Our bulk horehound is carefully dried to preserve its strong, earthy bitterness and aromatic qualities. It is commonly prepared as a tea, infusion, or syrup, and is also used in sachets, incense blends, and traditional protective practices.
