Our US grown mullein leaf is cultivated by one of our farm partners in the Pacific Northwest. This beautiful (and fuzzy) leaf is a staple respiratory support herb. It makes a lovely tea when brewed alone or blended with other botanicals. It can also be made into a tincture or added to a honey-based syrup recipe.

Mullein is a biennial herbaceous member of the Scophulariaceae family. Its silver-green, fuzzy leaves have been used for thousands of years in traditional herbal practices. Native to northern Africa, the Canary and Madeira Islands, and other regions in Asia and Europe, it has been widely naturalized throughout the world due to its weed like ability to grow under poor soil conditions.

Among the earliest references to mullein’s beneficial properties for lung health is from Diocorides, a Greek physician pharmacologist and botanist in 1^st century Rome. In his compendium “De Materia Medica” he recommended its use for lung conditions. After its introduction to North America by European colonists, various Indigenous peoples incorporated the plant into their healing traditions utilizing the leaves as a poultice, and during ritual sweat baths.

Precautions
Small hairs on mullein leaf may cause mechanical irritation in the mouth and throat if not filtered out of extracts prior to consumption. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
