Anyone Ever Try Mullein?
Diagnosed with MAX several years ago. Went thru years of albuterol and then saline was added. Cleared a mess of those little critters from the lower part of the lung but still had the cough. Started taking a dropper of Mullein extract each morning. Nearly a year later no cough, no feeling of mucus in my throat and don't have any mucus coming up w/nebulizer. Sleep thru the night w/o any coughing and none during the day. Am going to ask my doctor to do a CT and see how this is happening. Anyone else out there ever do the Mullein? No side effects of any kind. Feels like I never had MAC - maybe it is gone??? I will be 90 in November - still do all of my own housework. laundry, etc. House is 3/2 2300 sq.ft.

My pulmonologist recommended it. I have used capsules and the tea, both from Amazon. She also has me taking NAC daily, so I don’t know which one or likely both are helping me. But I am doing well.

1 Reaction@chisintexas I've never seen the capsules. I use the drops under the tongue and have found I'm having less volume of sputum and that it is easier to expel.
I use Mullein every day, the drops right under my tongue. Does bring up mucus.,

@lilianna I use Origin Drops 2800mg per serving (2 droppers) Mullein Leaf Extract super concentrated directly under my tongue. The bottle I use has 2 oz in it.
@plearley thank you. I use I droplet but with some water I drink it. I try it your way. Have a peaceful day
@lilianna I had been putting off using the loose Mullein I have had for a while due to my wanting to give it more time in the thought process about trying it.
Yesterday I put the loose Mullein in the paper tea bags I ordered, made the 'tea' . The 'tea' is warm water, not hot. I used this one tea bag a full three times yesterday.
All went well.
Now I am trying to figure out, is it the Mullein or just the warm boiled purified water that I always have several times each day and I do know it helps me to loosen the mucus or was it with the Mullein added to the water that had me, so it appeared, bringing up what I believe to be a better clearing of the mucus.
I will keep track of it to make that decsion.
However, I do think it was the Mullein. Fingers crossed it is the Mullein helping to more moree to get the mucus flowing better.
