There is not very much information available in my books on the historical use of Lungowrt. There is only said that it was already used in the middle ages against several lung diseases, but not really much more is said. Nowadays, lungwort is also not really much used anymore. It is sometimes still used against lung issues and sometimes against diarrhea.
Do not use this plant if you are pregnant.
