Homegrown Herbal Tea?

[tortoise]

I bought chocolate mint from the nursery. Forgot about them. They're still in the pots and somehow still alive.

I had a could lemongrass and lemon balm grow from seed! Low success rate, but I'm happy for what I have! I am torn between getting them established or harvesting leaves for tea right away

What's the best tea for congestion. I've been coughing in spurts for well over a week. Producing clear but small amounts of phlem. No headache, fever, sinus pressure, etc... I don't think I have any kind of infection, just this ongoing cough...

One of my goals is to have a herb garden. We dug 2 mullein plants off the side of the road and they are blooming and making seed!

I had no idea what Mullen is, but it sounds like something I should be looking to add. Here's a link for others not familiar with it. Good score @baymule!

We have Mullein growing all over the place here- it's one of our commoner weeds. I have heard conflicting stories about using its leaves as "toilet paper"... some say it works great and has a long history, others say the little tiny hairs make you itch.
