Dr. Christopher's Lung & Bronchial Formula
This is one of Dr. Christopher's most widely used formulas for relieving irritation in the respiratory tract, lungs and bronchial. It also aids in emphysema as well as other bronchial and lung congestion such as bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, etc. Not only does this formula help the body when dealing with respiratory conditions but it also strengthens the entire respiratory tract.
I modified this Dr. Christopher formula to make it more palatable as a tea by adding a bit of peppermint. I found the peppermint also supports the original formula due to its own respiratory support and congestion clearing properties.
Ingredients
1 part marshmallow root
1 part lobelia
1 part peppermint
1 part chickweed
½ part mullein
½ part comfrey leaf (or substitute with pleurisy root and lungwort)
Directions
I find this herbal formula works best as an herbal tea. Add a teaspoon of raw honey and it tastes great while receiving the healing benefits of the raw honey. It is soothing on sore throats that can sometimes accompany constant coughing associated with respiratory conditions. You can also make an extract or grind into a powder for herbal capsules.
Dosage
Typical dosage would be one cup of tea two or three times a day, 2-3 capsules two or three times a day or 1 teaspoon of extract 3 times a day for adults and 2-3 dropperfuls 3 times a day for children.
