Mullein is a soft, towering plant of breath, boundaries, and grounded strength. With its velvety leaves and tall yellow flower stalks, mullein has long been regarded as a gentle yet powerful lung tonic, offering relief for the respiratory system while anchoring the spirit. Traditionally used by herbalists to soothe coughs, open the breath, and clear stuck energy in the chest, mullein is a true ally for those seeking clarity, protection, and deeper connection to the breath of life.

Taste Profile:

Mild, earthy, and slightly bitter

Soft on the palate with a subtly sweet, grassy finish

Often blended with herbs like licorice root, thyme, or elecampane for deeper lung support

Key Benefits:

Supports Respiratory Health & Opens the Lungs
Mullein helps to clear excess mucus, soothe dry or irritated tissues, and ease both wet and dry coughs—making it a foundational herb in any lung-support blend.

Calms Inflammation in the Airways
With its demulcent (moistening) and anti-inflammatory properties, mullein comforts inflamed respiratory passages and supports gentle, consistent healing.

Energetic Protection & Boundary Support
Traditionally used as a protective herb, mullein helps those who feel energetically porous or overwhelmed to ground and reclaim their space—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Gentle Nervine Support
Though best known for its respiratory gifts, mullein also offers a calming, centering effect on the nervous system—especially in times of grief, tension, or breathlessness rooted in emotion.

Soothes Muscles & Joints (Topically)
Mullein-infused oil is often used externally to relieve joint stiffness, muscle pain, or ear discomfort, thanks to its relaxing and anti-inflammatory nature.

Suggested Use:
Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried leaf in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Strain well (the fine hairs can be irritating if not filtered). Best used as a tea or in smoke blends for respiratory support. Can also be infused in oil for topical use. Pair with marshmallow root or elecampane for deeper lung and throat healing.

Let Mullein remind you to breathe deeply, stand tall, and root into your own quiet power. A plant of lung-lightening and soul-centering, it is a gentle guardian for the body and spirit alike.
