Mullein Works!
I am so glad I picked mullein this summer. Around here, every other person has a bad cold that goes into bronchitis/pneumonia or they have the out and out flu.
The nasty cold that wants to become bronchitis was what I fought. I was taking echinacea tea, and elderberry juice. These were helping keep things at bay for a couple of days, but this was a nasty bug, and I could feel it wanting to go into my lungs. My lymph glands felt like I had the mumps. Bring out the mullein. I made tea.
Two handfuls of crushed dried mullein to two quarts of water. This time I also added a handful of dried horsetail, and a handful of dried dandelion leaf. Heat it to just before it boils. Then take it off the burner and let it steep until cool enough to drink. It will taste green. I let it get cool enough to drink down quickly. Within 2 cups of this tea, my lymph glands were normal size, no more of that menthol feeling in the lungs, and the mucous thinned right down — just as if I had taken Sudafed. I am amazed all over again! Three days of taking three coffee mugs of mullein tea a day and I was well on the upside of over it. Three days instead of 6 weeks,…..hm-m-m-m, so glad I had some. (note to self — pick still more mullein this summer for friends and family!)
Here’s the action (what it does) of mullein:
1) Demulcent — it thins mucous and makes it slippery
2) Diuretic — gets rid of water (not as big a diuretic as dandelion)
3) Expectorant — helps your cough (gets things up)
4) Anti-spasmatic — helps with that harsh dry cough
