15 herb that may help heal the lungs after quieting smoking.

**DISCLAMER: ALWAYS research the herb before using, a lot of herbs like prescription drug are based on your body weight, do not continue to used if it make you sick after using, some you may have to work up to the proper dosage. And by all means please follow any directions given and any warning about the herb, I do not wish anyone to get sick or hurt from using any herbs. Do not use the herbs for a replacement for going to see the doctor**

1. LICORICE ROOT

2. COLTSFOOT

3. CANNABIS (yes, recent studies have show it can help with breathing, I would not recommend smoking it but ingesting, again do your home work and don’t break your state laws)

4. OSHA ROOT

5. THYME

6. OREGANO

7. LOBELIA

8. ELECAMPANE

9. EUCALYPTUS ( I did try this out last night and did help breathing for me)

10. MULLEIN

11. LUNGWORT

12. CHAPARRAL

13. SAGE

14. PEPPERMINT

15. PLANTAIN LEAF (some species can cause irritation to the skin so please be careful with this plant and its variation)

Would like to also add lavender essential oil, it can help you relax. I have seen info on this that it has regenerative properties, I use it on my back all the time when I have strained it, it helps there, remember essential oil are between 10-50 times as strong as the raw herb I mix mine with safflower oil, between 10-20 drops per ¼ cup.
