Repost from @learningherbs "Mullein leaf has long been loved for soothing the lungs and quelling coughs. It is a mild relaxant to the lungs and also a mild demulcent. It soothes inflammation and dryness β often the causes of irritation for people with smoke exposure. β β In addition to the leaf, mullein flowers can have an added benefit to these dry irritated conditions. I often combine it with another demulcent such as mallow (Malva neglecta) or marshmallow (Althaea officinalis).ββ ββ Mullein is wonderful for coughs and lung inflammation from all kinds of irritants and pathologies, whether it is particulate matter in the air or symptoms from asthma or an upper respiratory infection.ββ ββ As long as the symptom pattern of dry, irritated and inflamed lungs fits, consider mullein for any type of cough, as a tea, tincture, or even inhaled as smoke or vapor." βΒ @rosaleedelaforetββ ββ #mullein #verbascumthapsus #learningherbs #herbalism #herbalmedicine #plantmedicine #herbalremedy #medicinalherbs #healingherbs #herbalhealing #botanicalmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CFMy1owFIuZ/?igshid=1qpkxtyxp6u0q
