Botany Lungwort
Lungwort (Pulmonaria Officinalis) is an early spring flowering plant that belongs to the rough-leaved family (Boraginaceae). The plant is native to Europe, but has now spread. Spotted lungwort prefers to grow in the shade and is often found in swampy forests, damp roadsides and grasslands.
The herb is easily recognized by its ovoid and pointed leaves, softly hairy and with silvery spots – a pattern reminiscent of lung tissue and giving it the name “lungwort”. The flowers of lungwort are special: they open pink and later change to purple-blue, which is often visible in one flower cluster. This color transition makes the plant popular with bees and early butterflies.
Origin and traditional use
The name Pulmonaria is derived from the Latin pulmo, meaning “lung” – a reference to the old signature theory, in which the spots on the leaves symbolized the lungs. In medieval herbal medicine, lungwort was used to support the respiratory tract.
Lungwort was also used in European folk medicine as a soothing herb for throat disorders and respiratory complaints. It was often used in syrups, teas and infusions. Today, lungwort is still prized by herbalists and natural health enthusiasts for its mild, soothing effect on the respiratory tract and throat.
