Rhododendron tomentosum
Bog shrub of northern Europe and North America used in Scandinavian folk medicine for respiratory conditions and as insect repellent, distinct from Labrador tea.
Ledum Marsh (Rhododendron tomentosum) is a bog shrub used in Scandinavian folk medicine primarily as an expectorant for respiratory conditions and as an insect repellent. Its key active compounds include ledol, palustrol, and flavonoids, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, due to potential neurotoxicity from compounds like ledol, use is limited to very dilute preparations.
Ledol and palustrol are sesquiterpenes that may modulate GABAergic and glutamatergic pathways, leading to sedative and potentially neurotoxic effects at high doses. Flavonoids contribute to anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB. The expectorant action is thought to involve stimulation of bronchial secretions through mild irritation of gastric mucosa, similar to other volatile oils.
