Rating (out of 5): 1

Mountain Pride (Polemonium caeruleum), also known as Jacob's Ladder, has a history of traditional use in herbal medicine, particularly in European folk practices. Historically, the roots of Mountain Pride were used to address respiratory complaints such as coughs, bronchitis, and other ailments affecting the bronchial system. The rationale for its use was based on the plant’s mild expectorant and soothing properties, as described in older herbal texts from the 18th and 19th centuries. However, rigorous scientific studies validating these effects are lacking. There are no well-controlled clinical trials or substantial phytochemical analyses published in modern scientific literature that confirm the efficacy or mechanism of action of Mountain Pride for supporting the bronchial system. Therefore, while it is justified to say that Mountain Pride has been used traditionally for bronchial and respiratory support, the evidence does not extend beyond anecdotal and historical accounts. Its use today for this purpose should be regarded as based on tradition rather than scientific validation.
