Everything you did not know about Mullein and your lungs 

Everybody seems to be getting persistent colds with productive coughs that won't go away. Some people have tried over the counter drugs at the drugstore that only seem to relieve their symptoms momentarily. If this is your case Mullein is your one plant to go.

Mullein is a natural expectorant and pulmonary soothing anti-inflammatory that helps the body expel excess mucus by making coughs more productive to bring up mucus that may be settling in the chest or in the throat. It is a supreme, safe, and profound respiratory tonic as it helps open the lungs, eases spasms, tightness, and cough, and soothes irritation and dryness. It is antiviral, antioxidant and antibacterial (works against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria) and an immune system booster thus helping the body fight infection and inflammation. It is superb in chest, throat and ear infections.  

I make Mullein Moonshine Spirit Tincture with 100% proof alcohol (there is no other Mullein Tincture more potent than mine, believe me. You can get yours in the following link https://thegreenwitchharvest.etsy.com/listing/1702756975) and for those who would rather not take alcohol I make Mullein Hydroglycerin Extract (you can get yours here: https://thegreenwitchharvest.etsy.com/listing/1609135676).  

I have foraged wild Mullein flowers and leaves for these remedies in the Cantabric Mountain range separating the regions of Asturias and León in very secluded and non-polluted areas.  I take the leaves and flowers home and I prepare them for drying as Mullein contains a lot of water that will make the remedies last for less. Once the plant is dried I macerate it into Homemade Galician Moonshine Spirit for about 40 days and nights or in Hydroglycerin for the non-alcoholic extract. The Mother tincture has a shelving life of approximately 7 years and the extract could last in great condition for two years.
