This "air hunger" type symptom, that causes tightness in the throat area with a feeling of air trapped in my chest just wouldn't go away. It forces me to sleep on my stomach so I can feel like I'm breathing when it is at its worse.
Sometimes I try supplements and can feel it start to close up, and I sit up right trying to force the burp out of my chest to feel relief, but nothing comes up.
All I can say is I've been using the root for a couple days in liquid form. Put like 55 drops in water a chug it down, and I can almost immediately feel a bit of relief. I started burping a little more which feels amazing.
Then I noticed my lungs were expanding a little more. I read online somewhere the stuff is good for lung inflammation as well.
Initially I bought it to heal the G.I. tears or whatever is up with my gut problems, and was pleasantly surprised with some benefits I can feel immediately.
Finally, a supplement that doesn't want to kill me, it wants to love me. Just thought I'd share.

I got a lot of help from Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm Bark when I needed it.
Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm, DGL, and Coconut Water healed my gut in 3 weeks. I was even scheduled to have an endoscopy as the gut pain and immotility was so severe. Food would get stuck all the time.

Thank you, all! It all happened so fast, we just couldn't wait to tie the knot. I had no time to invite you all.
This is an open marriage however, so you may pick-up my Marsh at your local health food store.

Also, the tea probably has lots more mucillage (the soothing, anti-inflammatory gel-like constituent of the herb) than the extract. And it's less expensive. But if you are responding to the extract, hey we do what works, right? We're all different.
Meadowsweet is hard to find however. If you are interested in this very interesting herb, you could try ordering it from Star West Botanicals, look them up on the web. They sell most things in large quantities however so you don't get to just try it out in small batches.
For dilating bronchial airways:
Read about grindelia (from which asthma medication was once made), lobelia, thyme essential oil (has some cautions, read up). www.healthy.net or www.christopherhobbs.com are my truly highly trusted sources.
If you want to read scientific documentation and facts about how the herbs work, see David HOffmann's giant book Medical Herbalism it's about 1000 pages fyi. A shorter reading source but scientifically astute is Potter's Herbal Cyclopedia by Elizabeth Williamson. Herbal constituents, studies, and common lay use information all in a one-page, quick-glance format, listed alphabetically by common herbal name. (Hoffmann's book uses only the Latin botanical names. Goes into chemistry, pharmacology, other facts for anyone who is interested).
None of the above statements have been evaluated by the FDA. This information does not diagnose, cure or prevent any disease. If you have any medical concerns, talk with your doctor.

PS Read about mucillage, this can have something to do with the herbal support that you are describing.
