Breathe is a pleasant-tasting liquid made from traditional cough and throat herbs: mullein, thyme, peppermint, ginger, manuka honey and lemon peel. It may soothe a scratchy throat and give a cool, "open" feeling from the peppermint, and some people simply like it as a daily ritual. What it does not have is evidence that it clears the lungs, improves breathing or helps COPD or asthma. The label hides the amount of each herb, even says that the product's safety "has not been determined", and the marketing promises far more than the ingredients can deliver. Treat it as a soothing herbal extra, never as lung care.

The bottle says Breathe, Respiratory Blend; the website is breatheagain.io. It is the same product. It is not related to other products or apps called "Breathe".
Breathe is a liquid herbal supplement sold in a 2 fl oz (60 ml) dropper bottle with the tagline "Nourish Your Lungs". The label lists a 550 mg proprietary blend of lemon peel, peppermint leaf, ginger root, manuka honey, mullein extract, thyme leaf, wild-crafted mullein leaf and microencapsulated peppermint oil in water and glycerin. You take 1 ml a day by mouth. It sells on breatheagain.io for $49 to $69 per bottle as a one-time payment, with a 90-day money-back guarantee. This review covers what each herb can realistically do, the price, the refund fine print and, above all, when breathing problems need a doctor instead.
First, a word about shortness of breath
Breathlessness is a symptom, not a condition, and some of its causes are emergencies. Call 911 right away if shortness of breath comes on suddenly or severely, or comes with chest pain or pressure, bluish lips or fingertips, confusion, fainting, or coughing up blood. Those can be signs of a heart attack, a blood clot in the lung, a severe asthma attack or pneumonia.
See a doctor soon if you get winded doing things that used to be easy, if a cough lasts more than three weeks, if you wheeze, if mucus changes color or you run a fever, or if you have lost weight without trying. Lingering breathlessness and phlegm are classic early signs of COPD, asthma and heart failure, and a simple breathing test (spirometry) can tell them apart. These conditions are treatable, and the earlier the better. If you smoke, stopping is the single most effective thing you can do for your lungs.
Breathe is a dietary supplement, not a treatment for any lung or heart disease, and it should never delay a visit to the doctor or replace a prescribed inhaler.
What is inside Breathe?
The order page shows the product label, which is the most reliable source for what is in the bottle. Here is each ingredient, its traditional use and what research actually supports.
| Ingredient | Traditional or claimed use | What research supports |
|---|---|---|
| Mullein leaf (extract and wild-crafted leaf) | Folk remedy for coughs and chest congestion | Reviews of its folk use and lab studies exist (two are cited on the order page); we found no controlled human trials on breathing or lung function. |
| Thyme leaf | Traditional cough herb | Thyme extracts, usually combined with ivy or primrose, have been tested in Europe for cough from acute bronchitis with some benefit. Not tested in this formula. |
| Peppermint leaf and microencapsulated peppermint oil | Makes breathing feel easier | Menthol mainly changes the sensation of airflow (a cool, open feeling); it does not reliably improve measured airflow. |
| Ginger root | Soothing, warming | Well studied for nausea; little research on the lungs. |
| Manuka honey | Soothes the throat | Honey can modestly ease cough from colds in children over 1 year. The study cited on the page is a lab test of manuka honey against bacteria, not a human trial. |
| Lemon peel | Flavor and plant compounds | No meaningful research on lung health. |
All eight ingredients share a single 550 mg blend per 1 ml serving, so each herb is present in an unknown and probably small amount. The label also carries an unusual line: "CAUTION: The safety of this product has not been determined." That is honest, and worth taking at face value: nobody has studied this exact blend.
Every ingredient, up close
Here is every active ingredient on the label, what it actually is, and what research does and does not show.
Lemon peel
In a 550 mg blend per 1 ml, amount not disclosedThe outer rind of the lemon, rich in aromatic oils such as limonene. Here it mostly adds flavor; there is no meaningful research on lemon peel for lung health.

Peppermint leaf and microencapsulated peppermint oil
In a 550 mg blend per 1 ml, amount not disclosedPeppermint's menthol triggers cold receptors in the nose and throat, so breathing feels cooler and clearer even though measured airflow barely changes. That sensation is pleasant but can hide how your lungs are actually doing. Peppermint can also relax the valve at the top of the stomach and worsen reflux.

Ginger root
In a 550 mg blend per 1 ml, amount not disclosedA warming culinary root that is well studied for nausea, at doses of around a gram a day in many trials. There is little research on ginger and the lungs, and the amount in this blend is unknown. In larger amounts it may add to bleeding risk with blood thinners.

Manuka honey
In a 550 mg blend per 1 ml, amount not disclosedHoney made by bees from New Zealand's manuka shrub. Ordinary honey can modestly ease night-time cough from colds in children over 1 year, usually given by the spoonful; the study cited on the order page is a lab test of manuka honey against bacteria, not a human trial. Never give honey products to babies under 1.

Mullein (leaf extract and wild-crafted leaf)
In a 550 mg blend per 1 ml, amount not disclosedA tall, woolly-leaved plant from the figwort family, long used as a folk cough tea. Lab studies show some antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity and two reviews of its folk use are cited on the order page, but we found no controlled human trials on breathing or lung function.

Thyme leaf
In a 550 mg blend per 1 ml, amount not disclosedThe best researched herb in the bottle for cough. In European studies, syrups combining thyme with ivy leaf or primrose root eased coughing in adults with acute bronchitis, a short-term infection, not chronic lung disease. Those products had known doses; here, thyme's share of the 550 mg blend is not disclosed, so it is impossible to say whether it comes close.
Photo: Syrio / CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsWhat the marketing claims, and what it skips
The order page headline promises to "clear trapped mucus" so you can start "breathing freely again", and the guarantee text speaks of mucus build-up and breathlessness being "eliminated". It is presented by Elizabeth Moffett, described as a respiratory therapist and author; the page does not explain her role in the product, and the label names the distributor as Herbal Tea Therapy of Tallmadge, Ohio.
A few things deserve a calm second look:
- The studies cited. The page lists fifteen sources. Some are about airway mucus in cystic fibrosis or how COPD raises heart risk, two are reviews of mullein in folk medicine, one is a lab test of manuka honey against bacteria, and one is a consumer article about elderberry, which is not in the formula. None is a trial of Breathe or of a product like it in people with breathing problems.
- "Greedy pharmaceutical companies keep threatening to shut us down." This is a sales line, not a fact the page backs up.
- Scarcity. Countdown timers, "supply chain breakdown" warnings and pop-ups about strangers "just purchasing" are standard pressure tactics. Take your time.
- A testimonial mentions using fewer breathing treatments. Please do not do this on your own. Changing inhaler use is a decision for your doctor.

How to take Breathe
The label is clear: shake well, take 1 ml by mouth once a day, preferably in the morning, either straight from the dropper or in a drink; if you tolerate it, you may take a second serving later in the day. The FAQ on the same page says something different, "2-3ml or 1-3 drops of Breathe 2-3 times per day", which is a confusing range (a few drops is a small fraction of a milliliter). We suggest following the label. Note too that a 60 ml bottle at 1 ml a day holds 60 servings, while the page sells each bottle as a "30 day supply"; at two servings a day the numbers match.
How much does Breathe cost?
The official order page offers three packages, each a single charge. The FAQ states there is no auto-ship and no subscription.

Prices as listed on the official order page when we checked. They change from time to time, so the checkout page is the final word.
About shipping and bonuses: the single bottle adds $9.95 shipping; the 3 and 6-bottle packages ship free. The 6-bottle package includes four digital bonuses: The 21-Day Lung Solution, access to an online respiratory health community, an e-book on breathing and exercise techniques and The 7 Day Tea Lung Detox. The page is not consistent about bonuses: one FAQ answer says the 3-bottle package gets the four e-books too, and another says two. Check what the checkout page shows before paying.
How the 90-day guarantee works
Orders from the official Breathe store are covered by a 90-day money-back guarantee, and each order is a one-time payment with no subscription or auto-shipment.
The returns page gives you 90 days from the date your order ships. Email support@herbalteatherapy.com with "Refund Request" in the subject line and wait for confirmation, then send all your bottles, empty or unopened, to 285 Northeast Ave, Tallmadge, OH 44278, USA, with a note listing your name, order number and email. Three things to know:
- You pay return postage, and the FAQ says refunds are made "minus s&h", so the $9.95 shipping on a single bottle is likely not refunded.
- The FAQ says the guarantee covers your most recent order.
- Support hours are 10am to 7pm Eastern on weekdays and 2pm to 5pm on weekends; the phone line for order status is +1 (330) 521-3590.
Who should talk to a doctor before taking Breathe?
- Anyone with asthma, COPD or another lung disease: keep using every inhaler and medicine your doctor prescribed. Breathe is not a replacement for them, and you should never cut back on breathing treatments because a supplement makes you feel better.
- People with reflux or heartburn: peppermint can relax the valve at the top of the stomach and make reflux worse.
- Anyone on blood thinners such as warfarin, or with a bleeding disorder: ginger may add to bleeding risk in larger amounts. Ask first.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women: there is no safety data for this blend. The label itself says its safety "has not been determined".
- Anyone allergic to mint, honey or plants in the figwort family (mullein).
- Children: the label says to keep it away from children under 12. Never give honey products to babies under 1 year.
Side effects from these herbs are usually mild: heartburn from peppermint, an upset stomach, or a skin or mouth reaction in sensitive people. Stop if you notice a rash, swelling or wheezing after taking it.
What to realistically expect
If your breathing problem has been checked by a doctor and you simply want something soothing for a dry or tickly throat, a herbal liquid like this may feel nice and do little harm. If you are hoping it will clear your lungs, reverse damage from smoking or let you rely less on medicine, the evidence is not there. A fair approach is to take it at the label dose for a few weeks while keeping every prescribed treatment, note honestly whether anything changes, and decide well before day 90 so the guarantee still applies.
Our verdict
Breathe is a simple blend of familiar cough and throat herbs, sold with marketing that promises lung cleansing it cannot prove. Its strengths are its gentle ingredients, a one-time price and a 90-day guarantee. Its weaknesses are a hidden-dose blend, a label that admits its safety has not been studied, a confusing FAQ dose and claims that go well beyond the research. If your doctor has looked at your breathing and you still want to try a herbal extra, it is a low-risk experiment from the official site; just never let it stand in for real lung care.

Your doubts, answered honestly
Is Breathe a scam?
Verifiable: a printed label with the full ingredient list, a distributor named on it (Herbal Tea Therapy of Tallmadge, Ohio), a returns address, a phone line, +1 (330) 521-3590, and a written 90-day guarantee. Not verifiable: the promise that it clears trapped mucus or lets you breathe freely again. None of the fifteen sources on the order page is a trial of Breathe, and the label itself says its safety "has not been determined". A real product with marketing that goes beyond the evidence.
Will it clear my lungs or help my COPD or asthma?
There is no evidence that it will. Thyme and honey have some research for short-term cough from colds or bronchitis, and peppermint can make breathing feel easier without changing airflow. Nothing in the bottle has been shown to clear mucus from the lungs, repair damage or treat COPD or asthma. Keep every inhaler and medicine your doctor prescribed.
Why does it cost $49 to $69 a bottle?
The 6-bottle package is about $1.63 a day if each bottle lasts 30 days, as the page sells it; at the label's 1 ml a day a 60 ml bottle actually holds 60 servings, which halves that. A single bottle is $69 plus $9.95 shipping. Thyme tea, honey and peppermint tea from the grocery store are usually much cheaper ways to get the same familiar herbs, with no evidence that the blend does more.
Is it safe? Can I take it with my medication?
These herbs are generally mild, but ask first if you have reflux (peppermint), take blood thinners such as warfarin (ginger), are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are allergic to mint, honey or plants in the figwort family. The label says to keep it away from children under 12, and honey should never be given to babies under 1. Do not cut back on breathing treatments because you feel better.
How much should I take? The label and the FAQ disagree.
They do. The label says 1 ml once a day, with an optional second serving later; the FAQ says 2 to 3 ml or 1 to 3 drops, two or three times a day. We suggest following the label on the bottle and asking your doctor if you want more.
What if it does not work?
You have 90 days from the date your order ships. Email support@herbalteatherapy.com with "Refund Request" in the subject, wait for confirmation, then send all bottles, empty or unopened, to the Tallmadge, Ohio address. You pay return postage, the FAQ says refunds are minus shipping and handling, and the guarantee covers your most recent order.
Do you get paid if I buy?
Yes, we may earn a commission if you buy through our buttons, at no extra cost to you. It does not change the price or our conclusions, which is why we say plainly that Breathe is not lung care. The buttons go to the brand's official site.
