One of my frequently used herbs we’ll be discussing is Mullein
- You can use the Whole Plant of Mullein
- The flowers are used by many in Garlic/Mullein Oil for Ear infections
- The leaves are a favorite for tonifying the lungs for those with asthma and it was a favorite remedy of many during Covid and recovery.
- The root has become a newer talked-about remedy for those with back pain.
How to use Mullein for tonifying the lungs
- If you have stuck mucus Mullein works a bit as a moistening irritant that makes you cough to move dried-up stuck mucus that won’t release.
- You can use this as an old-fashioned herbal tent steam. It gets in the lungs really well to help you loosen and expel stuck mucus.
- You can make a standard tea with it and drink it daily.
- 1 tsp in 8oz Hot water. Steep for 30 min and drink daily
- I typically add just a small part (about 10% to my clients’ infusions) if they struggle with asthma. It often works so well they don’t need to use their inhalers anymore. (Never tell anyone to use in place of an inhaler, or to get rid of)
During Covid over 50 people used Mullein Tincture with a small part of Pleurisy, and they all loved it. Some continue to use this blend because they like how great it makes their lungs feel. Its 3 parts Mullein to 1 part Pleurisy.
