To start, Mullein is a common weed found along roadsides, pastures, vacant lots, forest entryways, and industrial areas. When mullein is planted, it thrives in sunny areas. It is a herb that can open up the lungs, tighten, and cough, and soothe irritation and dryness. As the plant is steeped in water, it'll carry a mild flavor and aroma. Horehound is amongst the mint family with a similar habitat as mullein. Horehound will support your system when there is excessive mucus with wet coughs. It is found to be helpful during sinus infections, allergies, and chest congestion. Wild Cherry is prone to emerging after logging, wildfires, or disturbed ground. Cherry bark is best to be used after it flowers. It is primarily used for irritated, sporadic coughs and chest complaints from wood smoke or wildfires. It will help open the lungs. Marshmallow Leaf and Root is a soothing and slimy like herb wehre it can be used in teas, broths, and syrups. The flavor of marshmallow root is mild. If you are experiencing serious symptoms, please call 911 or go to your local primary care provider for assistance.
