@roisin.healthtea: If I could only recommend ONE herb for the lungs I'm picking Mullein!! it's a firm favourite of mine and I've yet to see it fail!! 🫁 Why Mullein Works Well for the Lungs: Expectorant: Helps thin and move mucus out of the lungs - reducing the chance of infection getting trapped in the lungs and festering. Demulcent: Soothes irritated, inflamed lung tissue - great for dry cough, tickle, or inflammation post-infection. Anti-inflammatory: Especially useful when the lungs are irritated or inflamed from chronic coughing. Antimicrobial: There are studies showing mullein has activity against certain bacteria and viruses. 👵🏻 Older Adults & Mullein: In older people with weaker cough reflexes, sluggish mucus clearance, or chronic issues like COPD or asthma, mullein can help mobilise mucus gently and support better lung function. It's gentle, well-tolerated, and can be used in tea, syrup, or tincture form. Combine with warming herbs like ginger or thyme for extra antimicrobial and circulatory support if needed. Add marshmallow or licorice root if dryness or irritation is present! Will you try it? #mullein #herbalremedies #copd #coughsyrup #PlantLover
