Although winter is a popular season for its snow, warm atmosphere and activities like skiing, the cold can also cause health problems, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Consequently, respiratory problems are common during this period. Whether it’s asthma, allergies or a common cold, no one likes constant sneezing, coughing, mucus in their throat or a runny nose.
To relieve these discomforts, many turn to over-the-counter medications. Unfortunately, these treatments can cause unwanted side effects and, in some cases, increase the risk of developing other diseases. Fortunately, there are simple, natural home remedies to soothe the symptoms of respiratory problems.
One of these remedies is a detoxifying infusion for the lungs, which we present to you today. Prepared with natural ingredients, it has no side effects and is suitable for everyone. Here’s how to prepare it.
Recipe for detox infusion for the lungs
Ingredients needed:
1 ½ cups water2 teaspoons mullein leaves1 teaspoon dried spearmint (optional)1 to 2 teaspoons raw honey (optional)
Preparation :
Boil the water. Place the mullein leaves in a colander and immerse them in the hot water. In another colander, add the spearmint and let it steep for 15 minutes. Stir in the honey to sweeten, mix well, and enjoy the infusion while still hot.
For optimal relief, consume one to two cups per day.
The benefits of mullein
Mullein, a common plant, has long been recognized for its beneficial natural properties against respiratory disorders, such as colds, lung weakness or breathing difficulties. Its benefits come from the saponins it contains, organic compounds that act as natural expectorants. Thanks to its emollient properties, it is particularly effective in soothing throat irritation caused by persistent coughing. In addition to relieving colds and other respiratory conditions, mullein tea can also help strengthen the immune system.
Why avoid over-the-counter medications?
Although antibiotics are often used to treat upper or lower respiratory infections, overuse can weaken the immune system and promote antibiotic resistance.
Additionally, cough syrups, often popular for immediate relief, do not treat the underlying infection. Excessive consumption of these products may cause side effects such as drowsiness, itching, swelling, rashes, difficulty breathing, and nausea.
