I'm 83 with IPF since 2013 and currently on oxygen, 4 ltrs. Trying to find more natural ways of treating my lung issues and found something that's really making me feel a lot better. Mullein drops in my water every day for about 3 months now and I can actually breath much deeper than ever before. Also have a lot less mucus, mostly in the a.m. but the rest of the day is much better.
It helps to expel the mucus if you do accumulate some. Also coughing a lot less all day and not at night at all. Cleveland Clinic has a write up about Mullein and they recommend it for inflammation, and cell protection because it has antioxidants. Also effective at fighting pneumonia, staph and E.coli bacteria.
I use Organic MULLEIN astragalus & licorice root - made by Nutra Harmony and it's on Amazon.
Always looking for natural things that work versus more drugs.
