Horehound (Marrubium vulgare), also known as white horehound, boasts a long and storied history as a medicinal herb. Its name originates from a Hebrew word meaning "bitter juice," hinting at its strong flavor profile. Evidence suggests its use stretches back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was valued for its medicinal properties. Traditional healers used horehound to soothe coughs and colds, relying on its expectorant qualities to clear congestion. Horehound candies remain a popular choice for sore throats, likely due to their strong, minty flavor.

Horehound's journey extended beyond medicine. In Europe, it found its way into the realm of magic and folklore. Some cultures associated horehound with protection and purification, burning it in rituals or incorporating it into amulets for good luck and warding off evil spirits. Its presence in spells aimed at attracting love or strengthening courage is also documented.
