Ease Seasonal Tightness: The Mullein Tea Recipe
A traditional mullein leaf tea, used for generations to support the lungs during tough seasons.
When seasonal changes leave your chest feeling tight, mullein leaf tea is one of the most traditional herbal remedies for lung and airway support, used in folk medicine for centuries.
What you'll need
- 1 tablespoon dried mullein leaves
- 1 cup hot water
How to make it
- Add the dried mullein leaves to the hot water.
- Let steep, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Strain well through a fine mesh or cheesecloth (mullein leaves have tiny hairs that should be filtered out), and drink warm.
Why people say it works
Mullein has a long history of traditional use in respiratory herbal medicine, believed to have a soothing, mildly expectorant effect on the airways. While rigorous modern research is limited, it remains one of the most consistently recommended herbs in traditional lung-support remedies.
This is a traditional home remedy, not a medical treatment. Always strain mullein tea thoroughly, since the fine hairs on the leaves can be irritating if swallowed.
