Mullein Leaf Herb

Mullein Leaf (Verbascum thapsus)
Also known as: Great Mullein, Velvet Plant
 
Origin: Eastern Europe / United States
Description:
Mullein Leaf, from the Verbascum thapsus plant, is a soft, fuzzy botanical historically used to support respiratory wellness. Known for its tall flowering stalks and velvety leaves, Mullein has been a staple in traditional Western herbalism for centuries. It’s especially valued for its soothing effects on the lungs and its ability to support clear, calm breathing. When dried, the leaf maintains its pale green color and mild, slightly bitter flavor.
 
Key Benefits:
Respiratory Support: Helps ease dry coughs, promote lung function, and clear mucus.
Anti-inflammatory: Traditionally used to soothe irritation in the throat and bronchial passages.
Gentle & Non-Stimulating: Safe for long-term use and often recommended for children and the elderly.
 
Usage:
Herbal Tea: Commonly steeped as a gentle infusion to support respiratory and immune health.
Steam Inhalation: Used in herbal steams to soothe irritated airways and loosen congestion.
Topical Use: Sometimes infused into oils or salves for skin-soothing applications.
 
Origin Details:
Our Mullein Leaf is sustainably wildcrafted and cultivated in Eastern Europe and the U.S., where the plant thrives in dry, open fields. The leaves are carefully harvested by hand before flowering and slowly dried to preserve their natural softness and effectiveness.
 
 
Note: Due to the fine hairs on Mullein leaves, it's recommended to strain teas through a fine mesh or cloth to avoid throat irritation.
