Many people expect seasonal colds and coughs to disappear as warmer spring weather arrives. However, according to Dr. Tim Bond, a chemist and natural health specialist from Puressentiel, these illnesses are lasting longer and hitting harder than before.
Recent research by Puressentiel found that:
One-third of people who had a cold or cough in the past month reported that symptoms were more severe and lasted longer than in the past two to three years.
93% of sufferers struggled to sleep due to their symptoms.
One in five Brits said they would take a sick day if their cough or cold made it difficult to concentrate.
"Coughs and colds aren’t just energy-draining; they interfere with sleep, work, and daily life," explains Dr. Bond. Since proper rest is essential for recovery, finding effective remedies to ease symptoms is crucial.
The Power of Mullein in Cough & Cold Relief
Dr. Bond highlights an overlooked natural remedy—mullein, a medicinal plant used for centuries to treat respiratory issues.
Modern research supports its benefits:
Expectorant Properties – Helps break down thick mucus, making coughs more productive and clearing the airways.
Antiseptic & Anti-Inflammatory – Helps fight bacteria like E. coli and pneumonia-causing pathogens.
Supports Lung Health – May help in managing bronchitis and other respiratory conditions.
"Mullein works by breaking down mucus, making it easier to cough up while also soothing inflammation in the throat and lungs," explains Dr. Bond.
A Natural Solution to Persistent Coughs
For those struggling with lingering coughs, Dr. Bond recommends Puressentiel Respiratory Cough Syrup, which combines:
Mullein – Clears mucus & soothes airways.
Essential Oils & Natural Ingredients – Provide additional relief.
Three Types of Honey – Soothes sore throats and supports the immune system.
Since nighttime coughing can disrupt sleep, finding an effective, natural remedy can significantly improve well-being.
Take Control of Your Respiratory Health
