Do you ever feel like you can’t shake the common cold? Or that your allergies are just getting worse? If so, you’re not alone.
Millions of people suffer from chronic respiratory conditions that cause extra mucus to collect in their noses and lungs. This phlegm is the body’s way of protecting against infection and irritants, but it can be really uncomfortable and challenging to get rid of.
Sneezing and coughing are the body’s mechanisms for getting rid of mucus, but they can interrupt your day. Luckily, there are some things you can do to make the process a little easier.
Let’s Look at the Natural Alternatives
Herbs are part of Nature’s pharmacy. There are many different plants all over the world, and we can choose which one is best for us. Just like the stuff from the drugstore, some herbs can have bad effects on people or be dangerous in high doses. But unlike pharmaceuticals, plants have a lot of vitamins and minerals that our bodies can easily use.
Benefits of Mullein
Mullein is an amazing plant (weed) with many incredible benefits! Not only does it have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial properties, but it can also be used to clean and strengthen the lungs.
It grows in sunny, unkempt places and has fuzzy leaves and yellow flowers. The roots, leaves, and flowers can all be taken as a tea to reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. Mullein is also effective in treating ear aches and infections when applied topically infused in olive oil.
Mullein has been found to be effective against streptococci (a bacteria that causes strep throat), respiratory infections, and trichomoniasis. The weed contains saponins, which help to expel mucus. Mullein’s iridoid, flavonoid, vitamin and mineral content are responsible for the weed’s efficacy and versatility.
