Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Marsh Tea (Ledum palustre), also known as wild rosemary, has been used traditionally in folk medicine in Northern Europe, Russia, and parts of North America. Historical uses have included treatment for cough, bronchitis, and respiratory ailments, including sore throat. The plant was often prepared as a tea or infusion and consumed for its purported soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. However, there is very limited scientific literature or controlled studies to support its efficacy for treating sore throat. Most contemporary sources reference only traditional use, often warning of the plant's potential toxicity due to compounds like ledol and palustrol. In summary, while Marsh Tea has a documented traditional use for sore throat relief, there is little to no scientific validation, and its use is generally not recommended today due to safety concerns.
