Summary
Lung and respiratory support.
Traditionally mullein leaves and flowers were used fresh or dried to make hot and cold oils, creams, teas, and tinctures. These were prepared to treat respiratory conditions, urinary infections as well as treating external injuries, irritations, and infections. The leaves were also smoked by native North Americans to treat respiratory conditions, and mullein was used across the western world to treat tuberculosis.
Compounds in mullein have expectorant properties (from saponins) – promoting the thinning and discharge of mucus as well as demulcent properties (from mucilaginous constituents) that soothes irritation and inflammation of mucous membranes. Both actions can help with conditions of the lungs and respiratory tract including catarrh, coughs, and bronchitis.
Mullein is also an excellent plant medicine for easing ear pain associated with infection and clinical trials have examined the abilities of the herb to relieve pain among children suffering from earache. When combined in topical preparations with targeted antimicrobial herbs – the benefits are enhanced.
