Mullein ⬇️
It is excellent for clearing out chronic, long-standing coughs, especially dry and spasmodic coughs, and can help with a number of respiratory complaints including bronchitis, asthma, and general lung weakness. Mullein has traditionally been used for tuberculosis, whooping cough, and pleurisy.
Mullein helps to drive moisture to the lungs, and to expectorate the crud that needs to get out. Tea or tincture are both effective for this -- and pretty fast acting! Sure, you might still have to breathe in the gunk, but Mullein can be shoveling it out to help your lungs keep up!
Mullein is an expectorant, which means it helps the body expel excess mucus, usually by helping make your coughs more productive, to bring up mucus that may be settling in the chest or in the throat. It is also a demulcent. Studies show that demulcents create a soothing anti-inflammatory coating over mucous membranes.
