Modere Respiratory Health: traditional herbal support for lung function and comfortable breathing
Traditional Western herbal medicine
The herbs in this formula have documented traditional use in Western herbal practice for respiratory health — each selected for their specific action on lung and airway tissue.
Airway membrane soothing
Demulcent and expectorant herbs coat and soothe inflamed airway membranes — particularly relevant in NZ’s cold, damp winters.
Complementary to medical respiratory care
Formulated to support respiratory health alongside — not instead of — any prescribed respiratory medications.
Why respiratory health matters in New Zealand’s unique environment
New Zealand has some of the developed world’s highest rates of asthma and respiratory conditions — affecting approximately 1 in 6 children and 1 in 9 adults. NZ’s damp housing stock, mould exposure, high pollen seasons and air quality variations create year-round respiratory challenges for many Kiwis.
The respiratory mucous membranes are the primary physical barrier against inhaled pathogens and irritants. Their health and integrity directly affect respiratory comfort, immune defence at the airway level, and overall lung function. Traditional Western herbal medicine has developed over centuries specifically to support these vulnerable membranes.

How Modere Respiratory Health NZ | Lung & Breathing Support 60 Caps works
Demulcent herbs coat airway membranes
Marshmallow and mullein mucilages form a protective film on irritated bronchial and tracheal membranes — reducing inflammation signals and soothing discomfort.
Expectorants support airway clearance
Thyme thymol and elecampane saponins stimulate the goblet cells that produce respiratory mucus — making it less viscous and easier to clear from airways.
Anti-inflammatory action
Liquorice glycyrrhizin inhibits the enzymes that amplify airway inflammation — reducing the cascade that causes airway swelling and reactive tightening.
Antimicrobial action
Thymol and carvacrol from thyme have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against respiratory pathogens — supporting the lung’s microbial defence at the airway surface.
