I've been using Mullein tea for the past 8 months. I have to say, it helps but it's only a piece of the puzzle. As a supplement, it aids in keeping mucus thin as it acts as an expectant. My brother tried it for his COPD and found it helped him too. Thinner mucus = less coughing, right? Other supplements I use every morning are Mucinex which thins mucus too. And I have just recently started taking NAC - not sure if that is helping yet - too soon.
I'm a tea drinker - from morning to night. I add a Mullein tea bag to each of my 3-4 morning cups along with my regular peppermint and green tea. For me, it works so I'll continue with it.
One of the more inexpensive brands I tried had bags that would often split which made a mess in my cup. I changed brands to a better quality. Makes a difference and the bags are always good.
Hope this helps.

After reading your post I have a couple questions if you don’t mind. I too have all those supplements at home and could use them, but have never been given or received clear advice on dosage. Especially on the Mucinex and the NAC. Do you take NAC 600mg twice daily? And how long do THEY (?) say before you know if it is helpful or not? Second Mucinex what strength and dosage do you take? I know they have a time release tablet (600mg or 1200mg) I think most take the 600mg twice daily. Please post your thoughts. As far as the Mullen I use the liquid drop 3x daily. To early to tell if working for me also. Have only been 1 week or so. Interestingly though the directions state to take 1mg in the provided dropper under the tounge 3x daily. I know from having a cardiac history, that when you have chest pain and have Nitroglycerin tablets, you supposed to put them under the tongue also. Interesting right?
