For over 300 years, there was a plant people used for this exact problem.
Before modern medicine existed, it was the go-to remedy for stubborn mucus and chest problems.
The herb is called mullein.
Native American tribes used the dried leaves for respiratory relief, sometimes smoking them.
European settlers brewed the flowers and leaves into tea for coughs and chest issues.
By the 1800s, herbalists praised mullein as a true ‘lung herb’.
It was a common, trusted remedy for coughs, bronchial discomfort, and chest congestion
But as pharmaceutical drugs became the standard, traditional remedies like mullein faded into the background.
But something interesting is happening now.
