Is your first thought to run to the doctor for some antibiotics? Looking for a more natural option. Have you heard of Lungwort lichen or lungmoss (Lobaria Pulmonaria)? Lungwort is a large epiphytic lichen and green algal partner living together in a symbiotic relationship. Lungwort may be beneficial for lung problems, pain and swelling (inflammation), stomach problems, and to cause sweating. Other uses for Lungwort includes as a dye, teas, and wild animals eat it. It can also be used as a poultice on wounds.
At Crushed Botanicals Apothecary we use it in our Wild Cherry Cough Syrup and Congestion and Cough Herbal tea blend.
