Description

Mullein leaf, known scientifically as Verbascum thapsus, is a traditional herbal remedy with a variety of potential health benefits. The “C/S” stands for “cut and sifted,” a form commonly used for making herbal teas or extracts.

One of the primary uses of mullein leaf is for respiratory health. It is often employed as an expectorant, helping to loosen and expel phlegm from the lungs, making it a popular choice for conditions such as bronchitis, coughs, and congestion. Its soothing properties can also calm irritated mucous membranes, providing relief from sore throats and coughs.

Mullein’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties can further support lung and respiratory health, potentially reducing inflammation and inhibiting the growth of bacteria that can cause respiratory infections.

Additionally, mullein leaf is sometimes used to aid in digestive issues due to its mild laxative effect and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe the digestive tract.

Externally, mullein has been applied in the form of poultices to skin to relieve burns, bruises, and other minor skin irritations due to its soothing properties.
