Mullein Leaf

[Tunbury41]

I’m interested to know if anyone has or is using mullein tincture to help with mucus someone has told me it is used for respiratory health and is particularly good for dealing with mucus.

I have been drinking Mullein tea, but have noticed no difference other than all the research says it’s good for me. The local Mexican market, they sell a medicinal tea called “broncolin”nthat is mullein leaves mixed with eucalyptus. I’m starting to really like it. Just feels refreshing. But no, no great noticeable difference.

Try pure stuff, 1 month you should of noticed a massive difference

[Tunbury41 in reply to Graham07allen]

Thank you for reply I’m going to give it a go

[Graham07allen in reply to Tunbury41]

Brilliant stuff

Best $25 iv ever spent

[Graham07allen]

Thus has honestly been a game changer for me, I drink it once aday and my cough has nearly all but gone

[Celie1 in reply to Graham07allen]

Sorry to jump in on your post but was interested as I’ve never heard of it before. Do you make it into a tea?

[Polzovatel in reply to Graham07allen]

Hi, how long did it take to start working for mucus thinning?

[Tunbury41 in reply to Polzovatel]

I discontinued it as it was’nt helping

[Polzovatel in reply to Tunbury41]

I've been drinking it for a week and didn't notice any difference . Did you find anything that helps for that horrible sticky mucus stuck in throat

[Tunbury41 in reply to Polzovatel]

I use an Airphysio to get rid of mucus I got it from Amazon and it does really help and it’s drug free I does really help

[Polzovatel in reply to Tunbury41]

Thank you! Does it have two little metal balls ? Did it help straight away? I had a quick look on Amazon - they have different Airphysios - do you have an orange one -it says mucus reliever...

[Tunbury41 in reply to Polzovatel]

Hi one metal ball and it’s green it’s made in New Zealand

[Tunbury41 in reply to Polzovatel]

Sorry forgot to say it’s immediate relief

[Polzovatel in reply to Tunbury41]

Thanks for your reply .Did you have sticky mucus stuck in the throat sensation ?

[Tunbury41 in reply to Polzovatel]

Sometimes but mostly from lungs do find mucus in the throat comes from post nasal drip that goes down to the throat I use sterimar nasal congestion relief (natural salt water) which helps a lot but Airphysio also helps with sinus congestion hope this helps

[Graham07allen]

Yes I buy the loose tea from Amazon and make it using a tea strainer, once a day is really good, my mother has not long been diagnosed with emphysema and is using the tea, really has helped

It might be helpful, but currently there isn't much good quality clinical research to show whether it's effective and/or safe for asthma or other respiratory conditions. webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingre...

So as with any other home remedy, proceed with caution and don't stop your asthma medications without discussing with your doctor/asthma nurse. Also be careful to check if it's mixed with anything else - I saw that someone has it mixed with eucalyptus which can be an asthma trigger for some people.

[Tunbury41 in reply to Lysistrata]

Thank you for your reply

[Graham07allen in reply to Lysistrata]

Only 3000 years but no your right, not to sure if the NHS has done many tests, bit like honey really isn't it

[Lysistrata Administrator Community Ambassador in reply to Graham07allen]

Yes like honey people can also be allergic/react to hence the note of caution. And length of time doesn't automatically mean good quality evidence.

I'm not telling anyone they shouldn't take it, but it's the same with any home or 'alternative' remedy. I should have added that some of these remedies can also interact with prescription medications, so should be mentioned when someone asks what you're taking (St John's Wort is a good example of that).

[Graham07allen in reply to Lysistrata]

You said currently there isn't much research, there is tonnes of research, it has been used since ancient time. I would say do exactly what they are doing, asking forums like this and looking up all studies done on the product. I recon it's massively effective and alot of other people do to, peace out

[Tunbury41 in reply to Graham07allen]

Thank you Graham I have bought pure mullein to try and I also looked at different forums and made a decision to give it a try

Hi there, about the Mullein tea, I drink it everyday and have for 2 years now. It helps me clear mucus off my chest. I saw improvement after a month. I also use the Air physio device every morning and evening and that helps to bring up the mucus and improve my breathing massively I hardly use ventolin now. But I still have one puff of seretide 250 every morning too. Hope this helps.

[Tunbury41 in reply to Lung_6]

Hi I have bought pure mullein to give it a try and I also have an air physio thank you for replying

[Lung_6]

I hope it helps you. By the way, how do you find the Air physio? Does it help?

[Tunbury41 in reply to Lung_6]

Hi lung_6

Yes the air physio is a good thing to have I find if I’m having a bad day with mucus it helps to shift it

[Elspe]

It's used in homeopathic form - see materiamedica.info/en/mater... forcoughs and some other problems. I would be wary of using the actual plant or mother tincture - homeopathic dilution looks safer.
