Looking for an herb with digestive, sedative, and expectorant properties that also serves as an aphrodisiac? Look no further than Heracleum sphondylium. This biennial plant, which grows in the prairies of Eurasia, is smaller than its cousin, Heracleum mantegazzianum (Giant Hogweed), and belongs to the same group as fennel, cow parsley, elder, and giant hogweed. Its leaves and roots have been used for millennia to treat laryngitis and bronchitis, and a tincture made from the plant's aerial parts has been used to relieve general debility.
