Expectorant: Bronchitis - Frankincense, a photo by mikeysklar on Flickr.

Unfortunately I spent the last six days with bronchitis. The most annoying feature has been not being able to expectorate which kept me coughing all night long and kept Mikey up!  I tried many things: mullein, ocotillo, cedar wood, and other tinctures. Then I found something that worked. In a little herb book I read a recommendation, burn frankincense. Upon lighting it my nasal passages began to pour and the gunk in my lungs loosened to a productive cough. I tried it again a day later to prove it was in fact the incense, the same results came time and time again. Hooray frankincense. How very timely with the holiday season. - Wendy
