Mullein Extract

Description

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) extract is high in iron, magnesium, potassium, and sulfur. It is considered the herb of choice for respiratory problems. They have an expectorant and soothing effect on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Mullein is one herb recommended for children and adults to add to nearly all respiratory formulas.

It can be considered to have a general tonic effect on the lungs. It is pleasant tasting and not harsh. (we think it smells a little bit like vanilla!) It is a go to herb for “smoker’s cough”.

Mullein extract contains slightly narcotic properties, though non addictive, it is one of nature’s best painkillers. It is said to relieve the pain of headaches and migraines quite effectively. Mullein shows strong overall anti-inflammatory activity and has been considered to be effective in treating swellings, especially when lymph nodes in the throat, neck, arms and groin swell or are congested. It maintains a long respected reputation for cleansing the lymphatic system generally, and it is also frequently used to relieve swollen joints and muscle pain.

Mullein soothes, lubricates, and tones the respiratory system and aides in expectoration by stimulating fluid production. Mullein is sometimes used with other herbs such as white horehound, and red clover. The iridoid glycosides stimulate secretion of uric acid from the kidneys.
