For mild/moderate COPD, does Mullein tea/tincture help clear lungs?

No I don’t. I rinse my organic lemons, depit them, slice them into small slices including rind, and put in my food processor. Remove. Then take organic (if I can fine it) ginger rinse and slice into small pieces, pit into processor, remove. Same for small pieces of pineapple. Mix lemon, ginger and pineapple. Mix 1 tbl lemon 1/8 tsp ginger, 2tbl pineapple (bromelein) and freeze in ice cube tray. Melt one cube daily and add to water twice a day. I’ll also add a drop of organic oil of oregano at times. Awaiting my organic oil of mullein. For now I take two organic tabs of organic oil of oregano 4000 mg each.

There is other anecdotal info about mucus and breathing using herbs etc.

Yes, it’s very strong stuff and stings the nose if you put more than 2 drops in! I don’t think it gave any immediate relief so have now tried a diffuser for a couple of hours at night time.

I tried a few oregano drops in my diffuser for a couple of hours in bedroom before sleep. In morning I woke and could take a deeper breath in.

I also have COPD and when use Mullen drops or Mullins tea .I stopped for a while but thankfully I remembered that still had the drops in the refrigerator. You can purchase on Amazon.

I’ve been using tincture of mullein drops under the tongue morning and night for the past two months andfind that it helps me in the loosening of mucus

Please, (and I know how difficulkt it is to do,) quit smoking.

I was doing a pack and a half of Camels a day plus pipe smoking (and inhaling the pipe tobacco) in the evening when I quit.

What I found is this: the addictive property (aside from habitual properties of addiction) of smoking is nicotine. We all know that, right?

Peeling the onion further: Nicotine's component (that some bodies require more of and therefore crave) is nicotinic acid, or niacin, or vitamin B3.

When I don't get enough of it, I get nervous, edgy, slightly panicy, find it difficult to settle down and focus, react poorly to stress.

At those times in my past (and just because) I'd reach for a cigarette.

One deep breath in, hold it for a second, blow it out and I'd feel better. Is this you?

When I discovered a book "Mega Nutrients and Your Nerves," (now out of print) I learned the above correlation between my tobacco addiction and what my body was deficient in.

Try this: Get some 100 mg. niacin tabs (they're cheap.) Get the straight niacin, not the one labeled flush-free niacin.

On day one, take one.

Do this when you can have time/space available to lay down for a while if you need to. Side effects are flushing of the skin, which can be mildly uncomfortable, and mild nausea. Lay down until it passes. You probably won't feel any side effects at all for the first couple of days. At mild levels they're tolerable; I even look forward to that flush that makes me feel alive. At a certain point, though, your body says "enough." You'll know when.

Day two, two 100 mg. niacins. Day three, four, etc. until you're definitely feeling the side effect limits set in. That might be 400 or more mg per day. For me it was around 600 when I started.

But for the rest of the day, all of a sudden when I reached that level my mental acuity sharpened, my stress reactions, calm and focus returned - and I didn't have the physical need to reach for a cigarette. At that point the self-discipline had to be there for me not to reach for one anyway - but if you know, in your mind and heart that you don't need one, you can break the habit.

That level becomes your daily dose, so to speak. I reach mine these days by combining stratght niacin (easily assimilable) and flush-free niacin to reach that level, in addition to what's there in my daily multivitamin.

When you start this path, please throw your last pack of cigs away. You don't want to have them around.

Pray.

The journey to better nervous health without tobacco is less than a week away.

You can do this.

Addendum to above, for clarification: My multivitamin gives me 50 mg. niacin/day. One or two straight 100 mg. niacin tabs, taken at different times of the day, brings total to 250 mg./day.
A 250 mg. flush free niacin (AKA niacinamide,) which I take mid-day with other suppliments brings me to 500 mg. total per day. I can move that total up or down depending on stress levels, digestive issues, etc. but mentally, if I don't get at least 300 mg./ day it ain't gonna be a good day.

My lung issues are still there from smoking, and my COPD is not all smoking-related. I won't go into it here. But I'll say this: Today I'm much better mentally with niacin, and if I hadn't quit smoking I'd be dead.

I smoked for almost 40 years. It took about 3 times to quit using patches. Off-brand patches did not work for me - only Nicoderm patches worked. I even found them at a great price on eBay. The last I bought were all 21mg patches. After using the 21mg for the first 6 to 8 weeks, I cut them in half for the next 4 or 6 weeks and then in thirds to finish. Each step has a specified number of weeks. I quit 9.5 years ago and don't even think of them anymore.

@colleenyoung I am just now trying Mullein Tea Extract. It seems to help loosen the mucus, so you can cough it up out of your chest. It's worth a try. I'll keep you posted if I remember. Ha!

@denise96 I am just now trying Mullien leaf extract. It seems to be loosening up the mucus that is stuck in there.
