It’s only the beginning of November… but you can already feel it coming.

The air gets a little cooler… especially at night… and your chest tightens.

You might even wake up coughing.

The chill in the air is a sign that you could be in the crosshairs for a chest cold.

Upper respiratory ailments can seem to STRIKE out of nowhere…

Even if you haven’t been getting “out and about” as much as you used to.

And they don’t have to be SEVERE to make you feel miserable.

Fortunately, there’s a way to naturally support your respiratory health all year long.

It’s an “Old World” herb that made its way to this country CENTURIES ago…

Yet there have been ZERO clinical studies conducted on people to PROVE to the scientific community that it actually works!

Fortunately, it’s got THOUSANDS of years of anecdotal evidence and testimonials to back it up.

Here’s what you need to know.

Warm and fuzzy

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a woolly-looking plant whose name comes from the Latin word for “soft” (mollis).

They say that Native Americans once lined their moccasins with its velvety leaves to keep their feet warm during winter!

That’s how it got the nickname “flannel leaf” or “flannel plant.”

Native to Europe, mullein was imported to this country in the early 1700s…

But it’s been used medicinally for at least 2,000 years!

The most common historic and contemporary use for mullein in herbal medicine is for coughscolds… and other respiratory ailments.

In Ireland, it’s been used as an herbal remedy for tuberculosis

And folks who practice traditional Appalachian medicine even give it to babies with croup!

The Pennsylvania Dutch knew it as “Wolla Graut” (from the German “Wollkraut,” or “woolly leaf”)…

And even today, Amish families use it for asthma.

It helps CALM spasms that contribute to both asthma attacks and coughing fits… thanks to its content of a type of sugar molecule known as verbascoside.

As I shared with you just last month, verbascosides are found in another healing plant for respiratory ailments, plantain (a.k.a. plantago).

But mullein doesn’t stop there.

In addition to its antispasmodic action, it’s also a potent anti-inflammatory.

And its mucilage content helps SOOTHE irritated mucus membranes of the respiratory tract.

Try drinking 1 cup daily of mullein leaf tea, which you can find in the herbal tea section of your local health food store or online.

If you don’t have access to dried mullein leaves, you can also find mullein leaf extract in tincture form. You can add a few drops to hot water to make a tea.

Mullein is also available as a supplement in capsule form on its own… or as part of a lung complex formula.

Note that the label might list the ingredient by its Latin name for mullein leaf, Verbasci Folium.

To getting out your winter “flannels,”
