Mullein + Frankincense Tea for Bronchitis & Smoker’s Lungs (Old Lung Remedy, Not a Trend)

This is an old lung remedy — not a trendy detox tea. It doesn’t taste fancy and it doesn’t work overnight. It’s meant to support irritated, overworked lungs (especially smoker’s lungs) and bring some relief when you’re dealing with chest irritation, thick mucus, or that stubborn, lingering cough.

Please read this post from beginning to end. Use this cautiously, and seek a doctor’s advice before drinking it — especially if you have asthma/COPD, take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have ongoing breathing symptoms.


What This Tea Can Help With

  • Bronchitis symptoms (especially mucus-heavy cough)
  • Smoker’s cough and throat irritation
  • Chest congestion and “stuck” phlegm
  • Dry, scratchy, inflamed airways
  • Raspy voice from irritation

Important: This tea is supportive care, not a cure. It does not replace medical evaluation or antibiotics when needed.


When NOT to Rely on Tea (Get Medical Care)

  • Fever that won’t break
  • Shortness of breath, wheezing, or tight chest
  • Chest pain
  • Bloody mucus
  • Symptoms lasting more than 7–10 days or rapidly worsening
  • Any breathing issue in someone with asthma or COPD

Why These Ingredients Are Used

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)

  • Traditionally used to soothe irritated lung tissue
  • Helps loosen and move mucus
  • Often used for bronchitis, smoker’s cough, and raspy airways

Key safety note: Mullein leaf has tiny natural hairs that can irritate the throat if consumed. It must be strained extremely well.

If you do not want to prepare mullein yourself, it can also be purchased already made as a properly filtered tea, tincture, or extract from reputable herbal suppliers.

Frankincense (Boswellia)

  • Traditionally used for inflammation support
  • May support irritated airways when used appropriately

Critical safety note: Only use food-grade Boswellia resin or powder. Frankincense essential oil is not safe for internal use and should never be substituted.

Frankincense can also be purchased pre-prepared (capsules, powder, or resin) — just be sure it is clearly labeled as food-grade or dietary Boswellia.


Ingredients (Supportive Lung Tea)

  • 1 tablespoon dried mullein leaf
  • ¼ teaspoon food-grade frankincense (Boswellia) powder or a very small piece of edible resin
  • 2 cups hot water (hot, not boiling)
  • Optional: raw honey (not for children under one)
  • Optional: lemon slice

How to Make It (Strain Very Thoroughly)

  1. Add mullein and frankincense to a heat-safe mug, jar, or teapot.
  2. Pour hot water over the herbs.
  3. Cover and steep for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Strain extremely well using a fine mesh strainer.
  5. For best results, strain again through a coffee filter or clean cloth.
  6. Sweeten if desired and sip slowly while warm.

How to Use

  • Start with ½ cup the first time to assess tolerance.
  • Increase to 1 cup, up to 1–2 cups per day for short-term use.
  • Best taken in the evening or before bed.

Smokers: You may cough a bit more at first as mucus loosens. If breathing worsens, discontinue and seek medical advice.


Warnings, Allergies & Who Should Avoid This

  • Avoid if allergic to mullein, Boswellia, or plant resins.
  • Consult a professional if pregnant or nursing.
  • Consult a doctor if you have asthma, COPD, or chronic lung disease.
  • Consult a professional if taking medications (especially blood thinners).
  • Not for children without professional guidance.

What NOT to Do

  • Do not ingest frankincense essential oil.
  • Do not skip thorough straining.
  • Do not assume natural equals risk-free.
  • Do not delay medical care if symptoms worsen.

Real Talk

This is an old, practical lung remedy — not a detox fad. It won’t taste fancy and it won’t work overnight, but used carefully and correctly, it can bring real comfort to tired, irritated lungs.

Fire Honey Recipe (What It Is, How to Make It, and When to Use It)

Fire honey is not a gentle, everyday remedy. This is the one you reach for when something is coming on hard — sore throat, congestion, sinus pressure, or that first unmistakable “uh-oh” feeling.

It’s been used in folk medicine for generations because it combines powerful antimicrobial ingredients with raw honey, which preserves and delivers them effectively.


What Is Fire Honey?

Fire honey is raw honey infused with garlic and hot peppers. The honey extracts and preserves their properties, creating a potent, shelf-stable remedy.

This is not meant for casual daily use. It’s a short-term, targeted support remedy.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 3–5 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
  • 1–2 hot peppers (jalapeño, cayenne, chili, or similar), sliced

Optional additions:

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cayenne (for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Add the garlic and peppers to a clean glass jar.
  2. Pour raw honey over them until fully submerged.
  3. Stir gently to release air bubbles.
  4. Seal the jar loosely for the first 24 hours.
  5. After 24 hours, tighten the lid.

Store at room temperature and allow to infuse for at least 1–2 weeks before use. The longer it sits, the stronger it becomes.


How to Use Fire Honey

  • Take ½ teaspoon straight for immune support.
  • Take 1 teaspoon for sore throat or congestion.
  • Stir into warm (not hot) tea.
  • Mix with lemon juice for a throat tonic.

Start small. Fire honey is strong.


What Fire Honey Is Good For

  • Supporting immune response during illness
  • Clearing sinus and chest congestion
  • Soothing sore throats
  • Supporting circulation
  • Natural antimicrobial support

Garlic is antimicrobial. Hot peppers stimulate circulation and mucus movement. Honey soothes and preserves.


Storage

  • Store in a sealed glass jar.
  • Keep at room temperature.
  • Do not refrigerate.

Fire honey keeps for several months when stored properly.


Important Notes & Warnings

  • Not recommended for children under one year old.
  • Use caution if sensitive to spicy foods.
  • Avoid if allergic to garlic or peppers.
  • If pregnant, nursing, or on medication, consult a professional.

Golden Honey vs Fire Honey

  • Golden honey: daily wellness support
  • Fire honey: short-term immune and congestion support

They serve different purposes — and both have a place in a real kitchen.


Real Talk

Fire honey isn’t gentle, subtle, or trendy. It’s effective. This is the kind of remedy people keep because it works — not because it tastes good.

If you feel something coming on, this is the jar you reach for.

Golden Honey Recipe (What It Is, How to Make It, and What It’s Good For)

Golden honey is one of those remedies that shows up in old kitchens, folk medicine, and modern wellness circles for the same reason: it works.

It’s simple, shelf-stable, and made from ingredients most people already recognize. No pills. No powders. No weird lab stuff.


What Is Golden Honey?

Golden honey is a blend of raw honey, turmeric, black pepper, and ginger. Each ingredient does something on its own — together, they support inflammation response, immune health, digestion, and general wellness.

This isn’t meant to replace medical care. It’s meant to support the body in everyday situations.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw honey
  • ¼ cup ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Important: Use raw honey if possible. Do not heat it.


Instructions

  1. Add the honey to a clean glass jar.
  2. Stir in turmeric, ginger, and black pepper.
  3. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Seal the jar tightly.

The mixture should be thick, smooth, and golden in color.


How to Use Golden Honey

  • Take ½ to 1 teaspoon daily for general wellness.
  • Take 1 teaspoon as needed during seasonal illness.
  • Stir into warm (not hot) tea.
  • Add to warm lemon water.
  • Take straight from the spoon if you’re brave.

Do not add to boiling liquids. Heat destroys some of the beneficial properties of raw honey.


What Golden Honey Is Good For

  • Supporting the immune system
  • Helping calm inflammation in the body
  • Soothing sore throats
  • Supporting digestion
  • General daily wellness support

Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Black pepper increases turmeric absorption. Ginger supports digestion and circulation. Honey soothes and preserves.


Storage

  • Store in a sealed glass jar.
  • Keep at room temperature.
  • Do not refrigerate.

Golden honey keeps for several months when stored properly.


Important Notes

  • Not recommended for children under one year old.
  • If pregnant, nursing, or on medication, consult a professional.
  • Turmeric can stain — use care when handling.

Real Talk

This is one of those remedies that has stood the test of time because it’s simple and effective. No hype. No magic. Just ingredients that work together.

If your grandmother kept something like this in her kitchen, now you know why.

Abscessed Tooth- Drawing Out Infection

If you’ve ever had an abscessed tooth, you already know the kind of pain that makes grown adults cry. Clove oil helps numb it, sure (see our recipe)— and it’s great for temporary relief — but it does not draw out the infection.

What does, shockingly enough, is an old wives’ tale using sunflower kernels.
Not sunflower seeds, not salted shells — the kernels inside.

It sounds crazy until you’ve done it… and then you’ll swear by it forever.


What You Need

  • Raw sunflower kernels (unsalted, out of the shell)
  • A tiny bit of water
  • Or just your mouth (yes, really)

How to Use It

1. Make the poultice

You can do it two ways:

Option A — With Water
Crush the kernels and add just a drop or two of water until they form a thick mush.

Option B — The Appalachian Way
Chew the kernels yourself until they turn into a paste (don’t swallow it).

Both methods work. The goal is simply to make a warm, sticky mash.


2. Pack it against the infected tooth

Take the mush and press it:

  • Between your tooth and cheek right over the swollen area
  • Or directly over the gumline where the abscess is pushing through

Hold it there as long as you can stand it.

It will start pulling.
You will feel pressure changes.
And then… it’ll begin forming a head.

This can require one to several applications. 


3. Spit it out and repeat

If the poultice starts to break down or gets too mushy, spit it out and make a new batch.

Repeat this process:

  • until the abscess comes to a head,
  • until it drains,
  • and until pressure starts to leave the tooth.

You may need to apply it 2–5 times depending on how bad the infection is.


Why Does This Work?

I don't know for sure — even the old folks didn't have an explanation — but sunflower kernels have:

  • natural drawing properties
  • fatty acids that pull infection upward
  • a texture that stays warm and gently holds against the gum

It acts like a natural poultice — the same way bread, flaxseed, or plantain does — but sunflower kernels seem especially strong at pulling dental infection forward.

All I know is:
It works. Fast. Better than almost anything you can buy (short of antibiotics or lancing). I've tried it and it worked for me several times during desperation.


Important Notes

  • This does not replace antibiotics if the infection is severe or spreading.
  • If you have fever, facial swelling, or trouble swallowing — go to the ER IMMEDIATELY!! Septic is deadly! This is just to help while waiting to get into a dental professional! A professional examination and antibiotics are still needed!
  • Use clove oil for pain relief (see my recipe), then use sunflower kernels to pull the infection.
  • Rinse with warm salt water afterward to keep the area clean.

Real Talk

This is one of those mountain remedies that sounds too simple to be real — but when your face is swollen and your tooth feels like it’s beating with your heartbeat, you’ll try anything.

And this?
This one actually works.

Please see a dental professional as soon as possible and please go to an ER if you're having fever!

Instant Toothache Relief at Home: The Truth About Clove Oil! NO I'm not kidding it works and its cheap!

⚠️ WARNING: This REALLY does work — but you MUST read the entire post before you try it.



🚫 Do NOT use clove oil on infants or children — AT ALL. EVER!
Babies and kids should NEVER have clove oil used inside their mouths. If a child has a toothache, they need a dentist immediately. Anyone with infants or young children should take them to a dentist through Medicaid or CHIP. Clove oil is NOT safe for a child’s mouth, throat, or airways.

🚫 Do NOT use clove oil on pets — EVER.
Dogs, cats, and other animals cannot metabolize clove oil safely. It can cause breathing problems, chemical burns, organ distress, and severe reactions. 

This remedy is for adults ONLY.


Clove Oil for Toothache Relief: The Real-Deal Remedy Nobody Tells You About

If you’ve ever had a toothache — I mean a real toothache, the kind that makes you see God, the kind that makes you want to bang your face off the wall until you knock yourself unconscious — you already know that the junk they sell in stores doesn’t do a damn thing. Anbesol, Orajel… all that watered-down benzocaine barely numbs your lip, let alone the nerve.

But clove oil? Darlin', that’s the one thing that actually works.

I’ve used clove oil for YEARS because we’ve had more than our fair share of tooth problems, abscesses, infections, and “I’ll go to the dentist when I hit the lottery” moments. And if nobody has ever told you this before, let me be the one to do it now:

Pure clove oil is the most powerful numbing remedy you can get without a dentist. (And the dentist doesn't want you to know about it.)

Sadly, most people don’t even know it exists.


Why Clove Oil Works (The Simple Truth)

Clove oil contains eugenol, which is:

  • a natural anesthetic
  • a painkiller
  • an antibacterial
  • a compound dentists used for 100+ years

It doesn’t just lessen pain — it numbs it all the way down into the NERVE.

And nothing in the store even comes close.


How to Use Clove Oil Safely and Effectively (This is IMPORTANT)

Clove oil is strong. Very strong. If you don’t use it carefully, it will light up the inside of your mouth like the Fourth of July. Trust me, you don't want that so please listen carefully. 

Here’s how to use it the right way:

1. Use a Q-tip — never your finger

Dip the Q-tip in the bottle, then wipe off the excess on the rim. You want it damp, not dripping.

2. Dry the tooth or gum first

Use a tissue so saliva doesn’t spread it.

3. Touch ONLY the exact spot that hurts

Hold the Q-tip on the sore gum or tooth for 5–10 seconds.

4. Expect a burn → then numbness

It will burn, heat up, take your breath for a second, and then go fully numb. The numbness lasts 15–45 minutes. Try to hold your breath during application. Yes, I'm serious.


❗ BIG WARNING — READ THIS BEFORE YOU USE IT ❗

Clove oil MUST NOT touch:

  • your tongue
  • your lips
  • your cheeks
  • your throat
  • anywhere except the exact spot that hurts

If it touches anything else, it will burn like hell before it goes numb.

DO NOT:

  • ❌ swish it
  • ❌ suck on it
  • ❌ let it drip
  • ❌ swallow it
  • ❌ inhale deeply afterward

If it hits your throat or you breathe it in too deeply, it can take your breath away for a moment.

If you mess up:

  • spit immediately
  • rinse with plain warm water
  • breathe slowly through your nose until the burn settles

You’ll be fine — but you’ll learn fast not to touch your tongue with it. Lol


How Long Relief Lasts

  • About 45 minutes or longer

You can reapply when needed.


Will Clove Oil Fix the Tooth?

No.

IT WILL NOT:

  • fix a cavity
  • cure an abscess
  • repair cracked roots
  • replace a dentist

What it WILL do:

Let you survive the pain until you can get seen by a dental professional. 


About “Killing the Root”

This is real talk they don’t put on medical websites:

Repeated clove oil use CAN deaden a nerve over time.

Eugenol is cytotoxic — it can kill nerve tissue. Dentists literally use it for calming or destroying nerve remnants in temporary fillings.

So yes — it absolutely can stop a nerve from firing eventually.


Final Thoughts

Clove oil looks simple. But for people struggling with tooth pain, cost, or access?

It’s a miracle in a bottle.

Use it safely, use it wisely, and let it hold you over until you can get real dental care.

And just to reiterate: DO NOT...EVER...use clove oil on babies, children, or pets! Not ever!

The Nail Fungus Killer That Actually Works

If you’ve got thick, yellow, stubborn nail fungus that’s been laughing at over-the-counter creams, it’s time to pull out the big guns — the natural kind. This simple two-ingredient remedy uses castor oil and tea tree oil to attack fungus, soften tough nails, and finally let your nails grow in clear again.


Why This Works

  • Castor oil is thick, heavy, and naturally antifungal. It penetrates deep into the nail and softens the hardened fungal layers.
  • Tea tree oil is one of the strongest natural antifungals on earth. It kills fungus, bacteria, and anything else hiding under your nail.
  • Together, they work as a powerhouse duo — the castor oil drives the tea tree oil into the nail where fungus lives.

What You Need

  • 1 tablespoon castor oil
  • 5–10 drops tea tree oil
  • Small glass bowl or bottle
  • Cotton socks or gloves
  • Nail file (optional, but recommended)

How to Use It

  1. Wash and dry your hands or feet completely. Fungus loves moisture — don’t give it any.
  2. Lightly file the surface of the nail.
    This helps the oils get down into the nail instead of sitting on top.
  3. Mix the oils.
    Stir together the castor oil and tea tree oil in your bowl or bottle.
  4. Apply generously.
    Using a cotton ball or your fingers, rub it into the nail, the cuticle, the sides, and underneath the nail tip if possible.
  5. Put on cotton socks or cotton gloves and leave it overnight.

Repeat every night until the nail grows out clear. You’ll see improvement in about 4–6 weeks, but full regrowth can take 3–6 months depending on how bad the fungus is.


Extra Tips

  • Trim nails weekly to remove infected growth as the new nail comes in.
  • Keep your nails dry — fungus thrives in warm, damp environments.
  • Wash socks and gloves in hot water to avoid reinfection.
  • Avoid walking barefoot in public showers or locker rooms.

Safety Notes

  • Tea tree oil should never be used internally.
  • If you have sensitive skin, test a small area first — tea tree oil can be strong.
  • Do not use on deep cuts or open wounds.

That’s it! Two ingredients, one simple routine, and the nail fungus doesn’t stand a chance. This is one of those “grandma knew what she was doing” remedies — simple, cheap, and worth the few minutes it takes each night.
