Quantum Lung
Here at the _floss, we don't usually do product reviews or promote many items other than the goodies we sell in our store. It's just never been part of our brand. And that's a good thing. However, every now and then something comes along that inspires this blogger, at least, to break with our philosophy. Quantum Herbal Product's Lung Formula is just such a product. Ever have a cough you just can't get rid of no matter how many different formulas you try? One of those nagging, unremitting, half-a-year coughs? I tend to get one about every other year. I'd tried everything you can get your hands on over-the-counter, and nothing worked. I even tried alternative, gentle herbal stuff - nothing doing. Then someone suggested this really foul tasting Lung Formula by Quantum - I mean it couldn't taste any worse if they'd made it with asphalt.
But guess what? IT WORKS! (at least for me)
And not only does it work, it works pretty much the first time you use it. I'm not entirely sure how it works, since the only stuff in it is Mullein leaf, Chickweed, Lobelia herb and seed, Marshmallow root, Aloe Vera, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, and a big bowl of gag-me-with-a-spoon-flavoring, but holy smokes does the formula make your cough take a powder. On the bottle, they suggest putting some drops in a little glass of water or juice, but I've found that squirting it directly under the tongue works more effectively, if you can withstand the taste undiluted. If you're going to try this, be sure to have a piece of chocolate or something ready to chase it down. Also be prepared for the little buzz you get from the grain alcohol that keeps the formula together.
A couple other words of wisdom: It doesn't work for everyone. I've given bottles of this stuff as gifts over the last couple years and people have reported mix results. For some, it works wonders as it does for me. For others, not so much. Still, there's nothing worse than a cough you can't shake - so I thought it important to get the word out. Lastly, please know that I have no connection to Quantum, nor did they approach me to write this post.
