Slippery Elm you know about.
Marshmallow is a demulcent, emmolient, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant. It's good for coughs and inflammation of the GI tract.
Fiber you know about...I'm not clued up on pectin specifically tho.
Plaintain is an expectorant, anti-inflammatory and astrigent....so it's good for coughs, hemms and possibly D!
Chamomile you know about.
Rosehips...as far as I know they're just a good source of vitamin C.
Bugleweed is specifically used for an overactive thyroid and it's possible side effects include hypothyroid and enlargement of the thyroid. It's also used as a sedative cough reliever. Traditionally, it was used as sedative and mild narcotic.
Hope that helps! I'm not sure what good that product would be compared to the Slippery Elm you're already taking as most of the other stuff is really just good for coughs and IBDs!
