{"product_id":"tincture-mullein","title":"Tincture - Mullein","description":"\u003cp\u003eMullein (pronounced mull-in) is a tall, flowering plant that grows in many parts of the U.S. and Europe. Its soft, fuzzy leaves and yellow flowers have been used in herbal medicine since ancient times. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Verbascum thapsus, commonly known as mullein, has a long history of being used to treat respiratory ailments around the world.  Different parts of the plant have different properties and it can be found in a variety of preparations with using it in a tincture form being the most popular. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerbalists often turn to mullein to ease coughs,  calm sore throats and support breathing. Mullein can help to ease chronic coughs, loosen mucus for it to be easier to cough up and to calm inflammation in the lungs and airways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis herb can help people that smoke, use vapes, are in unhealthy breathing environments and similar. Mullein has been shown to ease the work load of your lungs that are already a natural detoxifier.  Air pollution, allergens, respiratory infections, asthma and COPD can strain our lungs and struggle to do its job. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies have suggested that Mullein acts as an expectorant, clears out mucus, is anti inflammatory, anti viral and soothes irritation in the throat and airways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do offer a \"Lung Support Blend\" Tincture that includes Mullein and Chickweed but we have had others request  a single preparation of the mullein.  Single preparations allow you to blend other singles with it such as chamomile or echinacea for individual needs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosage - 30 to 60 drops can be used 1 to 3 times daily for adults. One full dropper is approximately 30 drops when squeezed out. Always use our tinctures diluted in a small shot glass of water, a cup of juice or other beverages like tea.  Always start new tinctures with minimal dosage over a few days to ensure that your body agrees with it and then you can increase as needed.  Never use the tinctures without diluting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis herb is considered GRAS, which means \"Generally regarded as safe\" and very well tolerated.  If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, allergies from the figwort plant family or on blood thinners, please discuss using mullein with your family physician or self educate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should generally use Mullein in tincture form for short term use, rather than a daily routine for best results. A good rule of thumb for this herb would be on a week and off a week for preventative care. If you are using it for acute respiratory issues, then using it for a full 2-3 weeks is acceptable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with organically grown mullein and extracted via a gluten free alcohol menstruum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product will arrive in a 1 ounce cobalt blue glass dropper bottle and has an indefinite shelf life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oakwood Natural Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67654784581852,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2498\/8292\/files\/IMG_1381.jpg?v=1791380898","url":"https:\/\/www.oakwoodnaturalliving.com\/products\/tincture-mullein","provider":"Oakwood Natural Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
