Thermopsis Lanceolata

This?


"The leaves and root are used in Mongolian medicine. The taste is bitter, the potency is cool and heavy. It is used for treating wounds and fever, and for fortifying the body. It is an ingredient in several traditional prescriptions in Mongolia[
1081
]

The leaves are used as an expectorant[

].
Thermopsis has application in Tibetan medicine. The plant provides a very promising expectorant, superior in its effect to ipecac and other imported agents[
74
].

The plant contains several alkaloids, including cytisine, anagrine, pachycarpine, rhombifoline, N-methylcytisine, N-formylcytisine, thermopsine, termopsidin, lupanin and spartein[
1081
].
Infusions and extracts of the plant, as well as the alkaloid thermopsin derived from it, act chiefly on the medulla oblongata and cerebrum, more particularly on vomitory, respiratory and vasomotor centers; the effect on the living organism ranges according to dosage from tonic and stimulant to depressive and paralyzing or even fatally asphyxiant. The direct and reflex effects of small doses of thermopsine on the vomitory center are associated with increased secretion of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and are thus conducive to expectoration[

I'm not sure how it is used. Anti-clumping?
I don't think it's any active ingredient at 1.5mg as I have seen in that one brand mentioned.
They don't list it on the label as anything related to an active.
