Verbascum thapsus
ABOUT
Mullein is your friend for all things respiratory support. Mullein has been known to help with coughs and colds and can be an incredible help during winter months when congestion and respiratory issues seems to abound.
Containing saponins that work to loosen mucus and allow the body to cough up congestion, it tends to gravitate towards the upper respiratory tract and can alleviate bronchitis and coughs that seem to linger. Its leaves are fuzzy and soft, but it packs a powerful punch when tackling lung issues. It is both moistening and cooling, soothing inflammation of the trachea and larynx. The addition of raw honey can soothe sore throats and provide medicinal benefits.
It is a diuretic, helping to cleanse the body through urination. Mullein can also be reached for when you have acute inflammation such as back pain or musculoskeletal injuries, as it is a mild relaxant.
Mullein is your friend for cleansing, for moving things up and out of the body. It can be used by all ages, babies and up, and by breastfeeding mamas.
Some mothers prefer to not give honey before the age of 1. I encourage you to do your research and go with what you are comfortable with!
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
None known.
ACTIONS:
Demulcent
Expectorant
Lung tonic
Diuretic
Antispasmodic
Anti-inflammatory
Mild Nervine
DOSAGE:
Mullein does best with smaller, more frequent doses. You can try 1-2ml every few hours, or as needed.
A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
