Herbal Remedy Dosage? Dog with Bronchitis (Help!)

Hi, my dog is 12 and the vet has told me he has bronchitis.The dog has
a hacking cough maybe 15 times a day and has a restricted airway.The
vet has tried 4 different drugs which don't work.The vet says he will
now put him on cough suppresants.

Searching through eBay I came across Yerba Santa or 'sacred herb' which
is good for bronchitis, coughs and asthma etc.A human is supposed to
take 20 drops 5 times a day.

Could I give this remedy to my dog & how much should I give him? I know
that herbs can be poisonous.Is this stuff safe for a dog? He is medium
size and weighs nearly 23 kg.

thank you.
