Hi Aimee.
I’m a class participant in this herbal community and read your inquiry a few minutes ago. I hope it is okay for me to chime in on this conversation. I have been an Oncology RN for 20 years and have found that for many of my patients who quite smoking, their experience was that they developed a somewhat irritating cough, sometimes productive, often not. The explanation given to them was that as their lungs began to clear the tar, the cilia in the lungs were “waking up” and in their effort to shake off the tar, a cough was produced. Add to that the expectorant action of the mullein and it makes sense that you would experience a morning cough.
All the best to your health.
