Servicetree (Sorbus domestica) has a long history of use in traditional European medicine, particularly for respiratory ailments such as congestion in the lungs. Historical records and ethnobotanical sources indicate that various parts of the tree, especially the fruits, were prepared as syrups, decoctions, or infusions and used as remedies for coughs, colds, and related respiratory symptoms. The astringent and anti-inflammatory properties attributed to Servicetree fruits and bark were believed to help alleviate mucus and support easier breathing. However, there is little to no robust scientific evidence from modern clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly supporting its efficacy for treating lung congestion. Most references are based on folk medicine and old herbal texts, such as those from traditional European or Mediterranean practices. While some preliminary phytochemical analyses have identified antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in the plant, these findings do not specifically validate its use for lung congestion. Consequently, the use of Servicetree for this purpose remains primarily justified by tradition rather than strong scientific evidence, and should be approached with caution.
