MULLEIN | Verbascum thapsus
This tall green plant often seen on roadsides and disturbed places is so gentle yet incredibly effective for complaints of the lungs. Mullein can be taken in times of allergies, colds, and during smoke season in places affected by wildfires, to help support healthy lungs and easeful breathing. Nicholas Culpepper suggests combining it with chamomile, marjoram, and sage in a tea for cramps and colds.
In folklore, mullein has long been associated with protection and healing, like many other yellow summer flowering plants. According to Maude Grieve, mullein was to India as St. John’s wort was to Britain, its tall stalks believed to ward off evil spirits and its soft leaves used as bedding for sick animals. The dried stalks were traditionally dipped in wax or fat and used as torches, lending it the name “Hag Tapper” or “Candlewick Plant.”
