Description: Mullein is a gentle but powerful ally for the lungs. Traditionally used to soothe irritated airways, it supports the body in clearing congestion and restoring a deeper, easier breath. It's also been known to offer relief from seasonal allergies.

This herb is especially supportive for people who feel weighed down in the chest, whether from seasonal illness, environmental irritation, or simply living in a world full of smoke, dust, and stress. Mullein works quietly to soften and moisten the respiratory system, helping the body release what it no longer needs.

Energetically, mullein carries a steady and grounding presence. The tall stalk of the plant has long symbolized resilience and upright strength. It can be a beautiful companion for those learning to breathe deeper, move through heaviness, and reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness. In this way, mullein doesn’t just support the lungs, it invites the body to soften, expand, and make space for breath again.

Properties: Demulcent, expectorant, astringent, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, can be used topically for soothing skin conditions and treating ear infections

Flavor:  Mullein has a very mild, earthy flavor with soft grassy notes.

It is light, smooth, and slightly hay-like, with almost no bitterness.
