The Research Behind Equi-Breeze

Peer-reviewed research supporting mullein, elecampane, yarrow, peppermint, and Malabar nut.

Equi-Breeze blends five traditional respiratory botanicals chosen to support clear airways, comfortable breathing, and healthy lung function. Every source below is an independent, peer-reviewed publication, grouped by ingredient.

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)A classic lung herb traditionally used to support comfortable breathing and soothe the airways.

Mullein has a long history as a respiratory herb, and modern reviews document the soothing compounds behind that traditional reputation.

Peer-reviewed reviewMulti-species

This review summarizes mullein's documented soothing and demulcent properties, supporting its long-standing traditional use for airway comfort.

Elecampane (Inula helenium)A root traditionally used to support clear airways and comfortable breathing.

Elecampane root contains sesquiterpene lactones studied for their effects on a normal inflammatory response and airway comfort in published laboratory research.

Inula compounds and a normal airway inflammatory response

Controlled in vivo studyAnimals

In an animal model, Inula extract supported a normal inflammatory response and normal mucus balance in the airways.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)A traditional botanical studied for its effect on airway smooth muscle.

Published pharmacology has studied yarrow's effect on the smooth muscle of the airways, consistent with its traditional use for comfortable breathing.

Pharmacology studyAirway tissue

Yarrow showed airway-relaxing activity in laboratory tissue, consistent with its traditional use for easier breathing.

Peppermint (Menthol)A cooling botanical whose menthol supports the sensation of clear, easy breathing.

Menthol, peppermint's active compound, has controlled research on its cooling effect and the sensation of clearer, easier airflow.

Menthol and the sensation of easier airflow

Menthol improved the perception of clear nasal airflow, explaining the refreshing, easier-breathing effect associated with peppermint.

Malabar Nut (Adhatoda vasica)The "vasaka" herb traditionally used to support clear airways and healthy lungs.

Adhatoda vasica (vasaka) is a cornerstone respiratory herb in traditional medicine, with modern studies examining its effects on airway comfort and a normal inflammatory response.
