Mullein Leaf

[deni-123red_]

Has anyone tried Mullein Leaf for COPD? I saw it mentioned on social media. On Amazon there were many 5* reviews. I’m interested to know if anyone on BLF has tried it. Thanks

I saw a post about it and searched for clinical evidence, which there doesn’t seem to be much of. I think the conclusion was that it might be beneficial, but more research is needed. Apparently it is an ancient remedy used by Native American Indians for respiratory problems.Having said that, I went ahead and bought some. Now, it is hard for me to know if it really works or if it is phychological!

It seems to me, that when I take it I can clear any phlegm with very little effort. As for reducing inflammation, my peak flow has had no dramatic improvement.

So, the jury is out on this one!

From what I read there are no drug interactions or side effects to be wary of, so it might be worth trying. Who knows😀

Thanks for your response. Anything that can help with clearing phlegm can only be good. Herbal remedies aren’t usually subject to clinical trials are they? Anyway I’ve gone ahead and ordered some so hope it will help…even if it’s only a slight improvement I’ll be happy 😊

I bought capsules from Amazon. You take three a day.

I ordered yesterday so it’s not arrived yet but I thought I’d bought a powder

[Troilus in reply to deni-123red_]

I just got capsules for convenience. Maybe the powder is better…..or maybe the tea…… Let us know how you get on with it. I have no particular allegiance to capsules and if you get good results I might try the powder or even the tea. (I didn’t buy the tea as I have yet to find a herbal tea I like the taste of. Only Ringtons Gold for me! )

[deni-123red_ in reply to Troilus]

Yes I’ll let you know. Might need to trial it for a few days before reporting back

There have been queries about it in the past. Try writing mullien in the search bar/ box and they'll come up along with their replies

[deni-123red_ in reply to peege]

I’ll do that. Thanks

Years ago, mullein tea was featured on the That's Life! consumer programme, when celebrities were endorsing it and it was being sold at premium prices. The claims made then were found to be hyped up, but if I remember aright, they were mainly about it being good for weight loss.

[deni-123red_ in reply to Ergendl]

Oh really! On Amazon the feedback was largely from people with COPD. I have that so that’s why I was so interested.

I use Mullien extract which I put 8 drops is 2 ounces of juice, I do find it helps. I bought it from Amazon UK it lasts quite a while, It works for me,

[deni-123red_ in reply to Jansy16]

Thanks that’s good to know

I bought some, it is quite pleasant, and it seems to work but honestly I find a hot drink of any kind beneficial when it comes to a good cough. I should add I don't generally have much of a cough, except when I have an exacerbation. If you do have phlegm to shift then I would say have a bash it is worth a try

[deni-123red_ in reply to stamford1234]

Thank you. My worst time is first thing in the morning. Yes hot drinks do seem to help. Thanks

My small suggestion is don't try to use the product based on internet reviews, better to seek doctor help. Because your body health condition is may be vary from that products action in your body. So, my idea is don't use any health related remedies without consults with doctor.

[deni-123red_ in reply to elizabethbrownall]

I appreciate your advice. However doctors don’t know about alternative meds such as this one so no point asking my GP. Thanks

[Glenys12]

I too have ordered from Amazon and it is due today. I bought the drops which I will add to water. Fingers crossed that it helps

[deni-123red_ in reply to Glenys12]

I started taking mine yesterday. Also hoping it helps and hope it helps you too!

[Glenys12 in reply to deni-123red_]

I do hope that it helps. I thought it was worth a try
