The herb has been used in Europe for centuries, and many say it got its name in the 16th and 17th centuries due to its leaves resembling lungs.

At that time, there was a theory that God gave herbs to humans for healing, and the proper use of each plant is evidenced by its appearance. Thus, the variegated leaves of Pulmonaria, because they resembled lungs, referred to lung diseases. Indeed, it is used for lung diseases as it is a soothing expectorant.

Traditionally, the herb was used since the Middle Ages among the peoples of Europe and Asia, in folk medicine, for respiratory diseases, in the treatment of tuberculosis, and in cases of hemoptysis.
