With Slippery Elm and Black Cherry Bark

The elegant, exotic loquat tree has long been loved by ornamental horticulture fans worldwide—its glossy, dark leaves cradle clusters of white, fragrant flowers and small, pale orange, red-blushed fruits that look like mini-apricots. The tree has been cultivated by gardeners in Europe, the U.S., and Asia since at least the 1700s. Numerous cultures also enjoy the loquat fruit, which tastes similar to apple and is used in jams, jellies, and desserts. But in its homeland of China, the loquat is not only celebrated for its beauty and taste, but its leaves (called Pi Pa Ye) are famed for their bounty of health benefits.

Loquat leaves are traditionally used for respiratory health. The leaves are harvested year-round, and are used in teas and syrups to support a calm and clear chest and lungs. Planetary Herbals Loquat Respiratory Syrup combines the properties of loquat with other botanicals such as wild cherry bark and slippery elm for a unique and highly effective syrup for respiratory health.
