Developed a chest phelgmy cough with thick mucus coming up out of my lungs. Felt like I was drowning in my own mucus. Hard to take a deep breath.
I put a pot of water (2 cups) on the stove and added about one tablespoon mullein leaf. Covered with a lid and boiled (medium heat) for about 15 minutes.
Turn off the stove and allow the cool room temperature, strain out pulp, and add honey to taste.
Drank this before bed. Woke up about 70% better with no thick mucus coming out. Repeated this morning and drank all day. About 90% better.
Your grandparents were right..
Mullein Leaf Extract

Since the publication of the foregoing, in the ninth edition, I have been smoking the dried mullein, and recommending it to others. It has given general satisfaction for coughs and as a substitute for tobacco in smoking, exhilarating the nerves and allaying the hacking coughs from recent colds, by breathing the smoke into the lungs. In one instance, after retiring, I could not rest from an irritation in the upper portion of the lungs and throat, frequently hacking without relief only for a moment. I arose, filled my pipe with mullein, returning to bed, I smoked the pipeful, drawing it into the lungs, and did not cough again during the night.
An old gentleman, an inveterate smoker, from my suggestion, began to mix the mullein with his tobacco, one-fourth at first, for a while; then half, and finally three-fourths; at this point he rested. It satisfied in place of the full amount of tobacco, and cured a cough which had been left upon him after inflammation of the lungs. The flavor can hardly be distinguished from the flavor of tobacco smoke, in rooms. It can be made into cigars by using a tobacco leaf wrapper.

I found Mullein Leaf Extract on Amazon, and tried it when I couldn't get rid of the ever lasting cough after Covid. It was the only thing that finally got rid of the chest congestion and coughing. I take it anytime I get a cough now, and it's been a lifesaver. I consider this a MUST HAVE in your medicine cabinet. It doesn't taste great, but it's doable. I put about 30 drops in a little bit of water, stir it, and chug it down. It's pretty amazing.
