This Glandular System Formula created by Dr. Christopher has been used historically with a focus on respiratory ailments, coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis and asthma. Mainly due to its soothing nature, Mullein has also been used in the treatment of hemorrhoids, ulcers and inflammation in skin disorders, as well as earaches and many lung ailments. One reason many herbalists tend to favor mullein is simply because of its ability to break up congestion. Through the accumulation of toxic waste in the body from improper diet, poor blood stream and sluggish circulation, the glands become congested and infected and swell up to cause much pain and misery. (There are lymph nodes that swell on the neck, breast, groin, under arm, etc.) Mullein is definitely the herb of choice to many herbalists when it comes to the glandular systems of the body & organs.
