Dioscorides, a Greek physician pharmacologist and botanist, practicing in the 1st century in Rome, who authored the herbal De Materia Medica, was one of the first to recommend Mulleins use in lung conditions around 2,000 years ago. It was used as a hair wash in ancient Roman times; the leaf ash to darken hair, and the yellow flowers for lightening it. The leaves were dried, rolled and used as wicks for candles and the entire dried flowering stalks were dipped in tallow and used for torches, hence the names 'candlewick plant' or 'torches'.

   

Make a tea infusion with 1-3 tbsp and consume as needed. For an infusion, bring water to a boil, turn heat off, wait 30 seconds, then add the Mullein and cover. Let simmer for 15-60 min. Strain and enjoy. You can infuse the same herb (reuse) 2-3 times to extract all the properties from the herb before disposing/composting.
