For mild/moderate COPD, does Mullein tea/tincture help clear lungs?
Background-RLower lobectomy 8 months ago Stage 1A NCLC w/mild to moderate COPD/Emphazima (not being treated for). I guess I'm still having post surgery effects from lobectomy as far as right rib discomfort, chest tightness, but experiencing some shortness of breath depending on what I'm doing, so I guess I attribute that to the surgery, but also the COPD. I was a smoker for decades, & I still smoke 4-6 a day after no success with patches. Has anyone used Mullein to loosen mucus & to clear lungs, help with breathing etc? You can use it as a tea or a tincture. I want to try it, but am wondering for COPD, have you tried it? I want it to be safe, but effective

@jillzizzo29 Where do you get the vape with that combination?
I to am wanting to try Mullein for COPD. I was given an entire plant with roots from a good friends garden. I am just trying to get knowledge as how to use each parts of it. I dried the leaves and stock with flowers and have saved the roots with new growth for planting my own. I have heard that the leaves must be filtered for tea as the hairs will irritate the throat. what about the stem and flowers. I was also told you could smoke the leaves? any one with this knowledge out there.
I drink Mullein tea every day. Usually 2 cups a day. I believe it is helping. All you can do it try it. I like the taste plain.

1 Reaction@tammylopez well I don’t think anyone with COPD should be smoking anything, that’s definitely a question you need to ask your doctor. Someone told me drink the tea they heard it helps so I did but i didn’t feel any different as far as helping my breathing, but everyone is different and as far as the tea it can’t hurt
@ktf Btw the oil of oregano often leaves an after taste to combat it- 10 mins after I take 1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass warm water or I take Brioschi which is also sodium bicarbonate but fizzy. Also good for heartburn - fairly cheap and not a pharmaceutical.
Where can you purchase the tea? I would like to try it.
Thanks,
Johnny
@johnnydale52 I buy mine at Full Leaf Tea Company online because I like the loose tea. I have seen tea bags at Sprouts, if you have a Sprouts near you. I bet Whole Foods has it. Google it for your area. Hope you find it. I believe it helps me with thinning the mucus. I also just ordered congestion relief tea from Full Leaf Tea Company. Happy so far with the company.
@joycecates Thank you for the information. I’ll give it a try!

1 ReactionI have been using it for asthma and mild emphysema with residual SOB and cough due to covid a year ago. Its helping greatly with 500 mg caps with a big meal. My stomach had to get used to it and never take on an empty stomach it will cause nausea then.
With food an extra water its working well I dropped down to one inhaler from two and can sleep better and longer than 2 weeks ago when I started it. Bought on amazon.
