Tincture - Lung Support Blend

This is a propriety blend of two useful organically grown herbs that can be used daily for lung support.

Both Mullein (Verbascum thapsus L.)  and Chickweed (Stellaria media) are gentle cooling herbs that soothe, calm inflammation and protect.

The German Commission E recognizes mullein, the main ingredient,  for treating the respiratory and lungs.  Mullein is a component of many prepared medicinal teas and herbal remedies, particularly respiratory teas and tinctures.

Mullein leaf helps sooth the lungs and calm coughs.  It is a mild relaxant to the lungs and also a mild demulcent. It soothes inflammation and dryness. Herbalists turn to Mullein to aid cough, COPD, asthma & allergies.  Some reports additionally show that it could  help with migraines and joint pain.

Chickweed has been used here on our farm for many years and is one of the top herbs that we use. It is extremely nutritious and will kick start most any wellness program. Chickweed was used traditionally as a restorative tonic for people recuperating from serious illness. It’s been said that its the plant’s nutrient content that provides healing support.  It has been found that it contains steroidal saponins which increase the absorptive ability of all membranes and help to eliminate congestion. We harvest our chickweed for beneficial teas, foods and tinctures that offer proven results within our family, friends and clients.

2nd review!

I have been hammered with allergies this past week and my asthma aggravated by it. Finally took this this morning and it dried my sinuses up! Drainage gone and of course able to breathe!
I knew it worked great for asthma but for the allergies? Amazing! And it lasts longer than the bromphen and did not impact my sinuses like nose sprays do.
Thank you so much again! For an awesome and amazing product.

The tinctures really work!

I bought allergy tinctures for my husband. He was taking anti histamines daily and usually had to take multiple pills to keep on top of his allergies. The pills made him drowsy and weren’t working very well so we tried the tinctures. Since starting the tinctures from Oakwood Natural Living, he has been allergy free. Actually, not only that but he sometimes he won’t take them for weeks at a time and his allergies still don’t rear their head. It took me a while to get this review done because we almost couldn’t believe how well they worked. This truly has been life changing. Thank you Oakwood Natural Living!

Amazed!

I thought I was crazy after the 1st dose and it was actually opening me up and I could breathe better.
Just recovered from Covid and still having to use an inhaler,I wanted to try this instead . WOW! I was amazed at the immediate effect. Even messaged Oakwood to see if I was nuts for thinking it worked so quickly..
Thank you for all you do!
