Mullein?

Posted by sheila7a @sheila7a, 16 hours ago

I've been reading a lot about Mullein for lung health.
Does anyone use this as a supplement or tea?

Like you I've read a lot about mullein and decided to buy a bag of loose mullein tea. I sip it in the morning to lubricate my throat during airway clearance. I finish the cup after clearance. I've used it now for about 3-4 weeks and cannot say it has made a big difference one way or another. It's tastes earthy so I add honey. Have you seen a recommended dose? Maybe I'm not drinking enough of it. All I know so far is that you should leave some liquid in the bottom of the cup (not finish the whole cup) as there are microscopic prickly things which fall to the bottom of the cup that can be irritating to the throat.

You can also strain through a coffee filter to catch them.
I heard pineapple juice is good for lung health.

Thank you . Your information is helpful . I have mullein growing and wanted ti try it . I think I must look elsewhere for it . The smoke from the Canada wildfires has been reported to be particulate in my area. So , since it is advised not to wash mullein, mine is not going to work . I wonder about that which we purchase. How well it is monitored for contaminates .
