What is Great Mullein?

Great Mullein, also known as Verbascum thapsus, is a biennial flowering plant native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia, but now widely naturalized in North America. Easily recognized by its tall stalk, velvety leaves, and bright yellow flowers, mullein thrives in sunny fields and open landscapes. Its botanical name comes from the Latin “barbascum,” meaning bearded, which refers to the plant’s soft, woolly texture.

The leaves of the mullein plant have been used traditionally to promote respiratory health, soothe irritation, and support immune function. Today, Great Mullein is celebrated as a powerful natural remedy in herbal wellness circles, often brewed as a tea, used in tinctures, or smoked (in moderation) as part of respiratory blends.

Key Benefits of Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)

1. Respiratory Health Support
One of the most popular uses of mullein leaves is to support the lungs and upper respiratory system. Mullein acts as a natural expectorant, helping to loosen mucus and soothe inflamed airways. It is commonly used to address issues such as:
• Dry or persistent cough
• Congestion and bronchitis
• Smokers’ lungs
• Asthmatic symptoms (non-acute)

2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Mullein contains natural compounds such as verbascoside, saponins, and flavonoids, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects. It may be used to soothe throat irritation, joint discomfort, and even minor skin conditions when applied topically.

3. Immune System Support
With its antioxidant content, mullein helps defend the body against oxidative stress and supports the immune system’s response to seasonal threats.

4. Gentle Diuretic and Detox Support
Great Mullein also works as a mild diuretic, encouraging the flushing of toxins through the urinary system. It may assist in gentle cleansing without harsh effects.

5. Skin Soothing and Topical Uses
Infusions and poultices made from mullein leaves can be applied externally to ease minor wounds, burns, and skin irritation. The plant’s soft, antibacterial properties make it a natural choice for first-aid kits and herbal skincare.

How to Use Great Mullein

As a Tea:
Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried mullein leaf in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Strain thoroughly through a fine mesh or cheesecloth, as the fine hairs on the leaf can be irritating if consumed. Drink 1–3 times daily to support lung health or soothe seasonal ailments.

In Tinctures or Extracts:
Combine with alcohol or vegetable glycerin to make your own respiratory tincture.

In Herbal Smoking Blends:
Mullein is often used as a base herb in natural smoking mixtures due to its lung-soothing properties and smooth burn.

Topical Use:
Make a strong infusion or oil to apply directly to the skin for irritations, burns, or muscle tension.

Storage and Shelf Life
