Then strain into a mug, and sweeten with honey. This light green sweetness will definitely calm your cough, relax your muscles, and help you get to sleep.
A quicker and more direct way to calm and clear the lungs, is to smoke it! Yep, dry it and smoke it. Just 2 or 3 hits of mullein smoke will make it all better...for a couple hours or so. The 1st puff will be harsh; try not to cough too hard. Then try to hold in a 2nd and 3rd puff. Then stop. Don't overdo it! Too much will be a bad thing! So don't plan on making a habit of it either. It would soon stop working and start damaging you instead.
And please don't think this will get you high. That's just stupid. It is just a good way to get you out of an emergency; that's all.
Hard to believe, I know. But it works.
