Natural Herbs and Supplements Episode 12

Welcome back to the Cozy Lung Lounge Podcast! In Episode 12, we’re unpacking the buzz around natural herbs and supplements that claim to support lung health, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. But do they really work? And are they safe? Your hosts Gina Hoots, Kelly Welton-Lewis, and Amy Sheldon walk you through the most talked-about herbs on the market—with a big dose of evidence, honesty, and caution.

💡 Why It Matters Many people with chronic lung disease are turning to alternative remedies—but not all supplements are created equal. Some have promising benefits, while others can interact with medications or worsen symptoms. This episode gives you the facts so you can make informed decisions with your healthcare provider.

🔹 Here’s What We’ll Cover: ✅ Tiger Milk Mushroom (Lignosus) – A Southeast Asian remedy now gaining attention. Can it really rejuvenate the lungs and immune system? ✅ Elecampane – Ancient Greek herb for cough and water retention… but does it hold up to modern science? ✅ Mullein – The go-to herb for respiratory issues in early America. Can it still help today? ✅ N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – A supplement with solid research behind it. We’ll explain how it thins mucus and fights oxidative stress. ✅ Quercetin – Found in apples and onions, this antioxidant may calm airways and reduce allergy symptoms. ✅ Ginseng & Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory powerhouses or marketing hype? We dig into what’s real.

🎙️ Why Listen? If you’ve ever browsed the supplement aisle or searched the internet for natural remedies for COPD, asthma, or chronic bronchitis—this episode is for you. We cut through the noise and share what works, what doesn’t, and how to stay safe on your wellness journey.

⚠️ Important Note: Always talk with your doctor before starting any supplement. Some can interfere with medications or cause side effects.
