Boost Your Lung Health Naturally: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Mullein Tea

Let's make a mullein infusion (tea) to support our lungs. Have a cough like me? Make this infusion! From foraging mullein to dehydrating, straining and drinking the soothing tea. It takes some time, but it's worth it. Follow along for some learning about mullein, verbascum thapsus, a beautiful lung ally.

    This method of preparation is excellent. I think a french press would make this even more efficient. Great video!

    Thank you! Excited for you! We too have gathered Mullin leaves off the stalk. It was already dried due to season. We will be drinking the tea also. 👍 we were told by another person who made a video on Mullin who replied to my question if can take dried leaves off stalk and make tea with it and he said. yes! You can!

    Hi Coral! Great idea! I have it growing here at the house, I have not tried it yet, I honestly always let it flower! Beautiful yellow flowers. Maybe I will give this a try this year. How soon after drinking the tea did you begin feeling better?

    I only drank the tea for two days, Then on day three I Don’t need to as my cough was gone. The plants I was using hadn’t gone to seed yet, probably only in their first year. I don’t think they flower until year two. I haven’t used the flower part before. Some of those flowers get extremely tall!​@@PandJsHomesteadAdventure

    Great video Coral. I have my mullein leaves but I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with them, make a Tincher and or dry the leaves for a tea for the cough I come down with. bronchitis at least twice a year and the last time I had it I literally cracked my rib from coughing very very painful. My question is how long will the tea last in the refrigerator or I should say the infusion. Thank you from Indiana.

    I have a couple large ones in the backyard with the floral top forming. Some leaves are prob almost 2 feet. Are they good to use or too late? Also, that means im not killing them per se cause theyre probably on 2nd year and wont be back next year anyways?

    I've been drinking mullein for a week and yes, it does help my cough! I take a fresh leaf, wash it, then Blend it with water, then add hot water and honey. After the first cup of mullein tea I could start to feel a difference. Vaping would make too much mucus in my lungs. Mullen helps me breathe much easier.

    Mullen makes your cough productive, bringing up irritating build up of mucous, including old, hardened and sticky mucous down deep, which is often the cause of irritating, itchy, tickling cough. Amazing for clearing the airways and breathing easy! I thought I was developing COPD or emphysema when I found mullein! Now, I take mullein tea and I made tincture for greater convenience, daily! I will never be without this! Has been a miracle to me! Hope that helps
