Mullein, specifically the species Verbascum thapsus, is a plant with a rich history that is native to Europe, northern Africa, and Asia and has been introduced to the Americas and Australia​. It belongs to the genus Verbascum, which includes around 360 species within the family Scrophulariaceae. It’s a biennial plant, which means it lives for two growing seasons. During its first season, it produces a gathering of fuzzy leaves. In the second year, the plant produces a tall stalk from the top that grows small yellow flowers.

Our organic mullein leaf is harvested from the lush valleys and mountainsides where it grows wild. Mullein has been a prized herbal remedy for centuries for its soft, flannel-like leaves. Once cut and sifted, it offers a consistent and convenient form for herbal preparations and crafts. Sourced from the Verbascum thapsus plant, our mullein leaf undergoes a meticulous process of cutting and sifting to ensure a pure and potent product. Rich in mucilage, it has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for respiratory support.

One of the most common uses of mullein leaves is to prepare herbal tea. The leaves are steeped in hot water to extract their beneficial compounds. This tea is often consumed for its potential respiratory benefits. Mullein leaves can also be infused with alcohol to create a tincture, which can then be consumed in small quantities as a concentrated herbal remedy.

The leaves can be soaked in water and applied as a poultice on the skin to soothe burns, wounds, and irritations. The mucilaginous content of the leaves can help in moisturizing and healing the skin. Due to its potential skin-soothing properties, mullein can be incorporated into creams, lotions, and balms for topical application. Some people incorporate mullein leaves into herbal smoking blends, as the leaves produce a smooth smoke that can be soothing to the lungs. It’s also been used as a tobacco alternative in such blends.
