Hi, Mullein tea really helps loosen up sputum for my sputum tests. Celebration Herbals makes a plain Mullein loose leaf tea with no other herbs added. It takes a day or two for it to loosen after drinking the tea.

I’ve never heard of it! Where do you get it. I gave them another sample today. She handed me 2 more cups just in case.

Hi there Beatrix. Isn't mullein also known to be an antibacterial? I used to use the oral version of it to try to fight my lung infections back in the day before I sought treatment at Mayo.

How often do you drink the tea In order for it to be helpful? How do people take the drops (Eg diluted?) and how often?
