where are the horehound parts found? i live in springfield missouri, not many specialty stores. this sounds like a great herbal remedy, and easy....and, not taking time to google this, what exactly IS horehound? always kind of reminded me of root beer somehow.

you should be able to go to a health foods store and pick that up. We are growing some but only have one plant at this time. Hopefully it makes it this spring.

I love horehound candy
