Herbal Teas For Asthma/Bronchitis
Warm thyme and mullein tea is a traditional comfort measure for a tight, congested chest, though it doesn't replace prescribed asthma or bronchitis treatment.
What you'll need
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried mullein leaf
- 1 cup hot water
Steps
- Steep thyme and mullein in hot water for 10 minutes, covered.
- Strain thoroughly — mullein leaf has fine hairs that should be filtered out.
- Sip warm.
Important: Never substitute this for a prescribed inhaler or asthma medication. Difficulty breathing needs urgent medical care.
