How to Use
- For herbal tea, steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried mullein leaves in hot water for 10–15 minutes; strain well through a fine mesh strainer or muslin bag before drinking to remove fine leaf hairs.
- For infused oil, combine dried mullein leaves with a carrier oil such as olive oil and infuse using a cold or warm infusion method for 2–4 weeks; strain thoroughly before use.
- For a bath soak, place a generous handful of dried leaves into a muslin bag and hang from the tap as the bath fills, or steep directly and strain before adding to bathwater.
- For topical poultice use, rehydrate dried leaves in warm water, apply to the skin area, and cover with a clean cloth.
- Store in an airtight container away from light and moisture to preserve potency.
Safety
- For herbal tea use, always strain thoroughly — the fine hairs on mullein leaves can irritate the throat if not fully removed
- Consult a healthcare professional before internal use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a respiratory condition
- Not a substitute for medical treatment — seek professional advice for serious respiratory concerns
- Perform a patch test before topical use in case of sensitivity
