Mullein- verbascum Thapsus.

There are so many uses and benefits as herbs that herbalists still suggest it. It has been widely used not only in Europe, where it has its origins but, now all over the world. Mullein is a very impressive plant, it is very tall and visible to the human eye from afar. Mullein flowers are irregular, do not follow an irregular flowering line.

Mullein is known in herbal medicine as one of the most curative plants which in its entirety, leaves and flowers have yin effect on the body. Mullein, helps with dry coughs, cleanses the mucous membrane, opens the chest, helps with irritated bronchitis and fights external viruses. Mullein is recommended for those who smoke cigarettes, as the small hairs of the leaves detoxify the body and mainly the chest by clearing the catarrh. The leaves are mulled, dried and used as an herbal tea. They are antioxidants, antispasmodics and antimicrobials. Some herbalists make leafy cigarettes that contain mullein leaves, which are actually more relaxing than toxic as the cigarettes marketed.

The tea that we will consume from the leaves of mullein, must be drained well, as the small hairs it contains can irritate our throat at the first contact. The taste of mullein tea is very pleasant.

Flowers are where plant energy is focused. Mullein flowers can be used as an herbal oil where after cutting, they are placed in olive oil (as it has a longer shelf life than other organic oils) for four weeks. Flower oil is highly curative and is used for ear infections. The flowers in the glass jar, when we cover the flowers with oil, leave a small air space where the process of lack of air takes place and the release of the goods they have in the oil that will be next, the obtained curative oil. We can throw a clove of garlic in the oil obtained for a few days and get a stronger antimicrobial oil, which again, is very curative for ear infections, thus avoiding taking antibiotics. Always for small external infections and not the more complex problems that some may have, and that must necessarily have more specific medical treatment.

If we want a curative oil to treat skin inflammations, eczema or small cracks on the hands, to fight small external infections in the body, and to reduce pain, we can combine some flowers. In olive oil we can combine some calendula- st.John’s Wort flowers and mullein flowers. If we place St. John’s Wort flowers we should not be in contact with the sun, as it can leave spots on our body or face (depending on where we apply it), as St. John’s wort flowers. john’s Wort can create photosensitive.

Mullein leaves, are very large and soft, have small hairs like fluff, which in content are also curative. In ancient times, people put the leaves on their arms and legs and mulled them to protect themselves from evil spirits and deadly diseases such as malaria. In fact, they were not wrong. They were also used as compresses to lower the temperature by placing them in warm water with vinegar. In fact this technique was used to treat haemorrhoids as well.

Mullein can also be used to burn at home, this process removes the negative energies present.
