Easy To Make & Healthy Mullein Tea

[@christineguttadauria3791]

Next time you make mullein tea, inhale that steam, it's the best part! Nothing beats it for loosening congestion in the chest or sinuses - just keep a box of tissues handy, you'll need them :-)

[@christineguttadauria3791]

PS - the seeds of mullein are actually toxic, not used in herbalism. They used to be used to stun fish to make them easier to catch, though.

Be careful because of contaminants.

So make sure that when you harvest you know it doesn't have any contaminants on it.

[@cynthiakennedy4143]

Mullein is the first plant I learned about and as an asthmatic and a mother of extremely asthmatic child who was constantly in the hospital for her asthma her first 3yrs... I was introduced to mullein for that reason and I was skeptical about it at first so I did loads of research and found that it's actually a common ingredient for most if not all asthma medications so we tried it I tried it first and thought wow then my daughter had an asthma attack one night and we gave her some mullein in some elderberry tea and it worked better than taking a nebulizer treatment ever has and now she's 9 and it's our #1 go to now and we haven't been to the hospital since we started using it and we don't really use our prescription meds unless we are out of mullein ❤ I mix it in with coffee in the mornings and unless we are sickly that's our daily treatment for the whole family!!! I highly recommend it over prescription asthma or Bronchitis treatment/medication weather your sick or not no matter the age even if you're pregnant or a breast feeding mom don't be scared to at least give it a try.. in my research I found out that there's a lot of either harmful or useless additives in the most common prescription medications that are actually unnecessary for pregnancy and or breastfeeding or anyone for that matter...it's a great organic one ingredient medicinal treatment that will only cost you a little walk in your yard park lakeside woods ditchline or wherever.. Dead serious if you or anyone you know has breathing issues of any kind try it... it's already in you meds your taking so just cut the extra crap out and go for it.. I cannot remember the scientific medicinal name used to list it on the ingredients list of breathing meds so you may have a look it up to see what I mean but it's there it's a main ingredient and they use scientific medical names to cover up the fact its a plant that grows everywhere and is classified an invasive weed go figure huh if you are not into making pharmaceuticals then you wouldn't know and that includes doctors nurses and pharmacy staff I schooled my children's Dr on this already 😊 and proved that she writing prescription drugs to children she doesn't truly know about 😢 boy was she upset and called cps as well 😒 to find just how right I am 🎉

[@maryfolks9368]

Wow, what an awful person that doctor must be, to call cps on a good mother trying to get toxic pharmacy crap out of your families system. Good for you. I just found out about this herb a few weeks ago and to my surprise I found 20 plants on the property we rent here in central Oklahoma. I've already harvested some, washed in cold water and dried in the sun. I did find some of the yellow flowers this morning and just made a fresh cup of tea. I've added the flowers too. Do you know if the flowers are edible? Also I've had asthma since birth and am 54 yrs old. Unfortunately I'm a cigarette smoker but trying to quit. I've only been drinking the mullein for a little over a week. I am feeling a difference and noticing I'm not needing my inhaler as much. God is so good for giving us such amazing herbs. I'm new to learning about them and hope to take some free courses 😊. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with mullein. Praying you and your family are always blessed and healthy 🤗

I've an 15mo who is asthmatic and today I saw that the drug he's been taking for asthma from last 8 months has come out as unsafe and causes psychological issues.

I'm inquiring in order to treat COPD, trying to get away from using lots of guafenisen. I've seen mulleine recommended and has been used for thousands of years to treat chest/sinus congestion. Also recently learned it's effective as a pain reliever--so for someone who lives in pain (orthopedic and neurogenic) constantly, this is valuable to know. My question is, can you "overdose" on mulleine? For moderately advanced COPD, would I need to take more than twice a day, or could I prepare larger amounts and just divide it up? Thank you for a simple to follow understand instruction.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Well smoking it by itself won't do anything really. It's a rather airy smoke, mild and pleasant tasting. People have used it to add body to other herbal smoking mixtures and for help in quitting smoking tobacco. For quitting smoking they'll simply mix Mullein with tobacco and decrease the amount of tobacco over time because Mullein by itself is too airy. Some of the spice products that were around a few years ago had Mullein leaves in them because the other herbs used were too leafy and harsh. The Mullein mellowed it out. Just some information for you if you decide to smoke it. Hope you enjoy your Mullein either way and thanks for commenting!

How do you go about drying the leaves?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I simply pick all the good ones off, trim off any bad looking spots then rinse well in water. After that I'll pay them dry with some paper towels and then place in a single layer on a drying rack to dry completely. While drying it's important to ensure a low humidity level and to give the leaves plenty of space to prevent them from molding. Also before drying you should look for spider mites or any mold or mildew that's present. This can be tricky because the leaves are covered in tiny little white/silver hairs so you might use a magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe to really investigate them. Hope this helps some and thanks for asking!

[@timothykennedy721]

The fuzzy part is definitely NOT toxic. The fuzzy part flakes off while the tea is steeping and if you don't run it through a coffee filter the fuzz is a little scratchy in the back of your throat. I strain the leaves out first after steeping and then run the tea through the coffee filter.

Generally yes, but it really depends. In this case I got the inner bark from a small twig so it won't hurt the tree overall but it will damage the specific branch. So it's best to harvest it selectively or only from trees that are going to be cut.

Always cool the tea down from from boiling temperature before adding honey. Raw honey has many medicinal qualities and minerals which are destroyed by high heat. Choose locally gathered raw honey for best benefit and if buying honey at the grocery read the label carefully. Much commercial honey is not pure and has corn syrup added. It is also pasteurized with high heat and has lost it's beneficial qualities. Raw honey is the way to go but don't put it in steaming hot tea or water.

Things like mold, mildew, or pollen are a lot harder to get rid of in some cases than something like smoking. I say that because smoking, being an addiction, is harder for others to give up. Then we have the aspect of people who quit smoking but still suffer from congestion. This tea can be very beneficial for them. People who rent but can't get their landlord to remove the mold or mildew might suffer longterm effects of congestion, again this tea comes in handy. I agree that prevention is the best method but is not always possible, therefore having a form of mitigation can be rather helpful.

You can smoke mullein

[@trendyasdabbers]

it's pronounced "mullen". The more you know!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Sure is, it's something that I mispronounce as that's how I've always said it. Many other posters have said the same thing too, kind of like ketchup, catsup, bologney, bologna. Thanks for commenting trendyasdabbers!

heck yeah! and thank you for the information, got this stuff all over my yard!

Drives me up the wall when people pronounce Kefir 'KEE-fir'. I personally think the right way is 'k'FEAR' - but that's just me...

That’s not even a full cup. Is that correct way.

Mullein rhymes with sullen

[@selenabone1]

This is so weir, his Mullien plant didn't look like ours. Ours has huge leaves on it and a huge stalk like flowering bulb that grows yellow flowers out of the top.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Mullein has several varieties and each one has several growth forms they take on. I find that some will have larger leaves than others. Why that is I'm not sure though.

Mullein tea smells like the inside of a green bell pepper.

Just drives me a bit nuts that you are pronouncing mullein wrong.

He should really learn how to at least pronounce the name properly. It is Mullen... the Mullen is soluble in water, which is the reason that tea is what works for the extraction, otherwise it would take some other solvent to extract the essential oil from the plant material. Sometimes the plant material would take alcohol, or some other solvent to extract the essential properties from the plant material...this plant material can even be smoked, which seems crazy since it is good for your lungs, but it is true, worse case senecio , smoke it!! It goes straight to the lungs where it does it’s magic.... this is real , been helping native Americans for centuries.......good luck...

Hard to trust someone's knowledge that can't even pronounce the name correctly. Might want to fix that..

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Might not want to be overly pedantic and discount someone just because they say something different. Besides, there are other countries in Europe where people pronounce it the same way. PO-TAY-TO. PO-TAH-TO

He is actually pronouncing/spelling it correctly. Look it up, it's spelled: Mullein. (I had to look it up just now, back home, everybody pronounces it mullan.

[@kevinm974]

I stand corrected once again. It is not pronounced like it is spelled. It is actually pronounced "Mullan" see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnnHpHSFm6ukr9k

That's not very much tea in that cup, son...you need a FULL cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) three times a day if you want to do your lungs any good. Add your honey, add some lemon, and add some slippery elm or lemon balm. That will make the best tea for helping your lungs when you are congested and/or sick. Worked really well for "Long Cov!D" back in 2021.
