ABOUT

Mullein is a biennial herbaceous member of the Scophulariaceae family. Its silver-green, fuzzy leaves have been used for thousands of years in traditional herbal practices. Native to northern Africa, the Canary and Madeira Islands, and other regions in Asia and Europe, it has been naturalized throughout the world due to its weed like ability to grow in poor soil.

Among the earliest references to Mullein’s beneficial properties for lung health is from Diocorides, a Greek physician pharmacologist and botanist in 1st century Rome. In his compendium “De Materia Medica” he recommended its use for lung conditions. After its introduction to North America by European colonists, various Indigenous peoples incorporated the plant into their healing traditions utilizing the leaves as a poultice, and during ritual sweat baths.
