Helped when nothing else worked
"I wanted to say how incredibly impressed I with the positive effects of Royal Desmodium on my lungs and bronchial system. I had the flu (congestion, fever, coughing) 2 weeks ago. I drank some herbal teas, lots of water, took some homeopathic remedies. When I began taking Royal Desmodium yesterday I could tell immediately that this herb is THE HERB which will get me back to full wellness and lung strength. Thank you for your excellent information not the herb and keep it coming! I so appreciate your products, your approach - thank you!” ~Robin B., Roosevelt Island, NY
Breathing deeper and pain free
“I suffered a partially collapsed right lung eight years ago and have never been able to breathe deeply. After two weeks of taking Royal Desmodium (with a glass of water on empty stomach 3 times a day), I began to breathe very deeply in both lungs. My pain is gone from my right lung.” ~M.W., Ann Arbor, MI
Supports healthy expectoration
“I suffer from a fairly rare congenital condition of the lungs called ‘bronchiectesis.’ For years, every time I got an upper respiratory infection, it turned into pneumonia and I ended up in the hospital. Last year, was the first time I sailed through the winter without getting pneumonia! Royal Desmodium is so effective for clearing phlegm out of my lungs.” ~J.M., Minneapolis, MN

Helped when nothing else worked
"I wanted to say how incredibly impressed I with the positive effects of Royal Desmodium on my lungs and bronchial system. I had the flu (congestion, fever, coughing) 2 weeks ago. I drank some herbal teas, lots of water, took some homeopathic remedies. When I began taking Royal Desmodium yesterday I could tell immediately that this herb is THE HERB which will get me back to full wellness and lung strength. Thank you for your excellent information not the herb and keep it coming! I so appreciate your products, your approach - thank you!” ~Robin B., Roosevelt Island, NY
Breathing deeper and pain free
“I suffered a partially collapsed right lung eight years ago and have never been able to breathe deeply. After two weeks of taking Royal Desmodium (with a glass of water on empty stomach 3 times a day), I began to breathe very deeply in both lungs. My pain is gone from my right lung.” ~M.W., Ann Arbor, MI
Supports healthy expectoration
“I suffer from a fairly rare congenital condition of the lungs called ‘bronchiectesis.’ For years, every time I got an upper respiratory infection, it turned into pneumonia and I ended up in the hospital. Last year, was the first time I sailed through the winter without getting pneumonia! Royal Desmodium is so effective for clearing phlegm out of my lungs.” ~J.M., Minneapolis, MN

Desmodium a. Reduced Anaphylactic Reactions in Guinea Pigs
Dose-response effects of Desmodium adscendens aqueous extract on histamine response, content and anaphylactic reactions in the guinea pig. Authors: Addy ME, Dzandu WK. J Ethnopharmacol. 1986 Oct;18(1):13-20. PMID: 2434805Smooth Muscle Contractions Reduced

It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. The beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids are believed to be due in part to selective alteration of arachidonate metabolism that involves cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes.
