Mullein Leaf

Mullein is a flowering plant that has long been used in herbal medicine. Scientifically named Verbascum thapsus, it originally grew in Europe and Western Asia but has now spread to other places as well, including the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand. It thrives in a wide range of environments, including meadows, chaparral, deciduous forests, and evergreen forests. Due to its ability to grow in rocky soil, it may even be found as a weed in gravel pits or next to the side of the road.

It’s a biennial plant, which means it lives for two growing seasons. During its first season, it forms a gathering of fuzzy leaves, and in the second, it sends up a tall stalk with small yellow flowers. 

Herbal medicinal practitioners use the flowers, leaves, and roots of mullein for a few different purposes, but more study is needed to prove their efficacy and safety from a scientific perspective.

Mullein can be used as a supplement, but it’s commonly taken as a tea, brewed with hot water to extract some of its nutrients and benefits. Here are some of its benefits:

May help with breathing issues:

Herbal medicine specialists, naturopaths, and other types of health practitioners may recommend mullein for:

• Asthma
• Cough
• Common cold
• Bronchitis
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  
  

Mullein is an expectorant, which means it helps the body expel excess mucus. It usually works by helping make your coughs more productive, allowing you to clear mucus from your chest or throat. It is also a demulcent. Studies show that demulcents create a soothing anti-inflammatory coating over mucous membranes. Demulcents contain a higher amount of mucilage than other plants. All plants produce at least a little of this sticky substance, which offers relief to the mucous membranes.

Both these qualities make it useful for soothing irritation of the lungs, throat, and bronchial passages. Mullein, like other herbal medicines used for cough, also may ease cough in other ways. For example, it may work directly on your brain’s cough center, which is located in the medulla oblongata, a part of your brain stem. The cough center connects to nerves elsewhere, including receptors in your respiratory passages. Herbal medicines like mullein may target these receptors.

Mullein is generally considered safe, though there’s not enough research to say if it should be used during pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor before you take it.

Mullein may help curb inflammation. That’s because it contains certain plant chemicals (phytochemicals) called flavonoids, such as luteolin, quercetin, and apigenin, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Phytochemicals are chemicals found in plants that protect them from viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

Mullein reduces swelling in the joints and glands. Mullein is used for a number of respiratory diseases, including sinus congestion, hacking and whooping coughs, swollen glands, bronchitis, hay fever and asthma. The herb is also used to treat ear infections in children.
