🌿 Herbal Breathing Support: 4 Herbs to Help You Breathe Easy

When your chest feels heavy or the air just doesn’t feel as easy to draw in, nature offers a helping hand. For generations, herbs have been trusted to gently support clear breathing and soothe the lungs — without harsh ingredients or artificial additives.

Let’s look at four of our favorite herbal allies for respiratory comfort and everyday wellness.


🍃 1. Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)

Mullein is one of nature’s most beloved herbs for lung support. Its soft, fuzzy leaves are known for their ability to comfort irritated airways and support clear breathing. Traditionally used to promote healthy lung function, mullein offers gentle yet effective support when your chest needs a little extra care.

🌾 Found in: Breathe Easy Herbal Tincture — crafted with organic mullein leaf for soothing, natural respiratory relief.


🌿 2. Marshmallow Leaf (Althaea officinalis)

Marshmallow leaf brings moisture and calm where it’s needed most. Its naturally soothing compounds coat and comfort the throat and lungs, making it a wonderful ally when dryness or irritation are a concern.

When combined with other respiratory herbs, marshmallow leaf helps create balance and ease with each breath.


🌱 3. Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale)

Ginger isn’t just for digestion — it also helps open the airways and supports circulation. Its gentle warming nature encourages movement and flow, making it an excellent partner to cooling, soothing herbs like mullein and marshmallow leaf.

This balanced combination helps your body feel both comforted and revitalized.


🌼 4. Elecampane (Inula helenium)

Elecampane has a long history of use in traditional herbalism for supporting lung clarity and easy breathing. Known for its aromatic properties, this root can help promote comfort in the chest and a sense of openness in each inhale.

🌿 Many herbalists pair elecampane with mullein for a time-tested, well-rounded approach to respiratory well-being.
