Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 My first thoughts are garlic cloves, lobellia and mullein... total tonic Other herbs to consider for an upset respiratory system include astragalus, echinacea, osha, goldenseal, pleurisy root, usnea and wild cherry.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Coltsfoot is good for the lungs in general. If he was a smoker, and if it were me I would use coltsfoot, lobelia and mullein along with garlic. Coltsfoot has been a favorite amoung herbal remedies for centuries. Used for asthma, bronchitis, shortness of breath, and colds, coltsfoot makes a great remedy. It's generic name, Tussilago, comes from the Latin for 'cough,' and coltsfoot does indeed contain compounds proven effective against cough and asthma. Coltsfoot's expectorant activity stimulates the microscopic hairs that move mucus out of the airways. And, coltsfoot supresses production of platelet-activating factor, a protien that plays a role in triggering bronchospasms.Tiffany Schaibley <ericandtiffanys wrote: Coltsfoot will help the hardened areas?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Sorry Riki. I would say cayenne immediately for him and Total Tonic. Astragalus, mullein and hawthorne berry wouldn't hurt either.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hello everyone....... Just joined the group today and would be most interested in knowing if any members have helpful ideas or suggestions for someone dealing with bad lungs due to a bout of near fatal Acute Respiritory Distress Syndrome 14 years ago. Am also dealing with tinnitus. I'm learning and totally enjoying Yoga and feel it's helping my breathing. Thanks for any help you can give me, abesneighbor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
