The dried rhizome (underground stem) of Bistort was a favorite in old time cough medicines because of its expectorant qualities (casts out diseased mucus from lungs and respiratory tract). It is also a favorite for present day coughs. Apply to throat, lungs and back 3 to 4 times per day. Place a white towel on the chest and back and wear with a high necked natural fiber undershirt to aid Bistort by conserving body heat to break the congestion loose. Bistort is assisted in its work by its antibiotic content of tannins (commonly known as bitter astringents) and Vitamin C content. Oil Of Cajeput can be applied also, along with Bistort in the same manner to magnify the effect.
