Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I would highly recommend making your own tincture of lobelia and mullein. I take this on a daily basis and have not had the need for any asthma medication in 6 months. Even now, during these weather changes we are having that usually wreak havoc on my breathing...I am feeling some slight wheezing off and on but not enough to concern me...and it goes away quickly...even more quickly when I take a dropperfull of the mixture at that time. I take about three droppers full each morning along with my total tonic...and have had no problems with my asthma since I started doing this.

Tinctures work so much more quickly than capsules or tablets. Basic Rx would be equal parts of mullein and Lobelia in 75% alcohol and 25% ACV mixture. Herbs that help to reduce spasms and ease breathing are: Grindelia, lobelia, Mouse ear, Pill-bearing Spurge, Sundew, and Wild Cherry Bark. Herbs that help get rid of mucus are: Blood Root, Coltsfoot, Comfrey Root, Licorice, and Senega. Ephedra is good if there is an allergic component to the asthma. Motherwort is also very good to add to the tincture to help ease stress on the heart. If hypertension is involved add Hawthorne berries and/or Lime blossoms. Add Hops, scullcap or valerian for anxiety and tension -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
