Hi! There are some herbs for lungs. I used some of them, and they can help. Mullein is a soothing expectorant that makes the mucous more fluid and less sticky, hence it can be coughed up more easily. It is used for bronchitis, colds, persistent coughs, tuberculosis, pleurisy, and whooping cough.
Angelica is good for the digestive system as well as the respiratory system. It is an expectorant, which means it will encourage coughing and the elimination of excess mucous.
Ginger is great in cases of excess phlegm, and bronchitis, and can also be used at the beginning of a cold. Garlic has been studied a lot for its immune benefits. It’s great both in the digestive system, and the lungs. It helps 'sterilize' the bronchial passage in the lungs, and has been used in bronchial infections like tuberculosis. It's great for tonsillitis, throat infections, and similar. As well as its cleansing effect on the lungs, garlic helps encourage mucous to cough up.
