Lungwort is most often available in tinctures, teas, and capsule form. Short term or infrequent use of lungwort is generally considered safe.

Cota`(Cota tinctoria, the golden marguerite, yellow chamomile, or oxeye chamomile, is a species of perennial flowering plant in the sunflower family) is also used for bronchial issues....having easy access to that, that's what I use as a tea.

Try cannabis tinctures and decrease smoking for a while to help with lung ailments.


Or here's some info on other remedidies (plant based)

Angelica - possess anti-inflammatory properties and increases immune system function; which is why the root is often used in treating allergies as well.
Anise - often an ingredient in cough syrups and lozenges as an expectorant, which means it helps in the coughing up of mucus in conditions like asthma, bronchitis, the common cold and whooping cough.

Coltsfoot - since the principal active ingredient in the plant is a throat-soothing mucilage, it has been used medicinally as a cough suppressant and remedy for asthma and bronchial congestion.
Elecampane - long valued as a tonic herb for the respiratory system. It is often used as a specific remedy for chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Elecampane soothes the bronchial tube linings and acts as an expectorant.
Horehound - anti-inflammatory and is often used to treat respiratory aliments such as asthma, bronchitis and whooping cough.
Licorice - has been used traditionally to restore breathing and calm the breathing passageways.
Lobelia - is a bronchodilator and antispasmodic which explains its popularity as a medicinal herb for asthma, spasmodic croup, pneumonia and whooping cough. It is thought to stimulate the respiratory center of the brain resulting in deeper and stronger breathing.

These properties indicate its usefulness as a preparation for bronchitis or whooping cough and can be helpful in coughs that accompany pneumonia. It is also helpful in coughs with influenza, where there is associated shortness of breath and or wheezing.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are of special interest currently because several of them have been shown to cause toxic reactions in humans, primarily veno-occlusive liver disease, when ingested with foods or herbal medicines..Called lungwort or cowslip, this herb is traditionally used for treating coughs. P.A. content is questionable.

Recently, during a scientific study it was found that lungwort contains pyrrolizidin alkaloids which are considered toxic in nature. Therefore, the internal use of the herb must be always done with caution and under medical guidance.

Side effects due to the use of Lungwort may include the following conditions – prolonged bleeding, an upset stomach and skin inflammation.

So, use in moderation or under guidance of a trained naturopath.
