RSV/LUNG INFECTIONS! New England Aster Tincture

New England Aster is one of our best allies for lung congestion and constriction, whether acute, as in cold and flu, or chronic, as in asthma or chronic bronchitis.  I use the fresh flowers, but I know people are experimenting with roots and young leaves as well.  It is a warming, calming expectorant that brings heat and life to the chest, lessening congestion, soothing spasmodic hacking coughs, and improving our ability to draw in breath.  It’s also a calming, soothing nervine, decreasing nervous tension especially characterized by flights of fancy, anxiety, “what if” rabbit holes, and anxiety felt in the chest or stomach.  This is an ideal every day ally for those of use who feel allergies, anxiety, and weather changes in our respiratory system.  I use it often for acute respiratory infections as well.

One of the primary uses of aster in traditional medicine is for its anti-inflammatory properties. Asters are known to contain various bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which possess potent anti-inflammatory activity. As such, extracts from aster species have been used to treat conditions such as arthritis, gout, and rheumatism, which are all characterized by joint inflammation and pain.

Another health condition that aster is commonly used to treat is respiratory infections. Asters contain compounds that exhibit strong antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and viruses, making them effective in treating respiratory ailments such as colds, coughs, and bronchitis. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that extracts from an aster species known as Aster tataricus exhibited anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus – a common cause of respiratory infections in children.

Aster has also been used to promote digestive health. The plant contains compounds that stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, which enhances the breakdown and absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract. Additionally, aster extracts possess antispasmodic properties, which help to relieve gastrointestinal distress such as bloating, cramping, and diarrhea.

Lastly, aster has been shown to have potential anticancer activity. Studies have shown that extracts from aster species such as Asteraceae and Aster scaber exhibit cytotoxic effects against various human cancer cells, including leukemia, lung, colon, and breast cancers. These effects have been attributed to the presence of specific compounds such as sesquiterpenoids and flavonoids.

To sum up, aster is a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health conditions. Its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, digestive, and anticancer properties make it a valuable addition to traditional medicine practices.
