Flowers, leaves and blends are not interchangeable evidence.
Next: what the research covers →
Traditional ≠ proven
● EMA’s traditional-use guidance concerns specific flower preparations. ● Clinical-trial evidence is limited. ● It is not a proven lung cleanser.
Keep expectations modest
● Use a labeled product and its directions; strain plant particles. ● Do not replace needed care with tea. ● Pregnant, breastfeeding, under 12, or taking medicines? Get advice first.
Know when to get help
Seek care for a worsening cough or symptoms lasting over a week; breathing difficulty needs prompt care. See plant-part and safety details.
