Abstract

Marrubium vulgare L. (family: Lamiaceae), also known as the white horehound, is a plant with high bioactive potential, thrives almost in any soil, and is naturalized in North and South America and Western Asia as far as India. M. vulgare, a traditional herb, belongs to genus Marrubium. This plant is widely used as an herbal remedy for chronic coughs and colds. It is used in various disorders related to skin, liver, gastric, heart, and immune system. The main aim of this chapter is to provide the comprehensive information about the traditional uses, pharmacological actions, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of M. vulgare and provides scientific proof for various ethnobotanical claims to identify gaps, which will give impulsion for novel research on M. vulgare-based herbal medicines.
