Mulling over Mullein | Benefits and Uses with Yarrow Willard (Herbal Jedi)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Join Herbalist Yarrow Willard in another addition of the Herbal Jedi Video series. This time he is Mulling over Mullein (Verbascum blattaria, V. thapsus).
Mullein is a plant that has a rich history of use in every place it has been found, and it can be found all over the place.
In this full length episode, Yarrow goes deep into many of the benefits and ways in which the leaf, flower and root of Mullein can be prepared as medicine, including benefits to working with the tea, tincture, macerated oil, and flower essence.
Plus like always the Herbal Jedi adds in a few extra gems on working with wild plants and health in general.
Mullein - Verbascum blattaria, V. thapsus
Identification: Mullein is a biennial herb, producing a rosette of broad leaves in its first year. It has an erect stem 30-200 cm tall. The second year the leaves and stem are covered with dense, grey, felt-like hairs. The leaves are alternate, elliptical to oblanceolate, 10 - 40 cm long. The lower leaves have petioles while the upper leaves are sessile. The flowers are in spike-like racemes and are bright yellow.
Distribution & Habitat: Mullein grows in waste areas, along railroad tracks, dry meadows, pastures, gravely banks and around settlements. It can be found throughout North America and surprisingly, it is an introduced plant from Europe.

    We asked my dad why he would mow around this huge weed in the middle of the yard. He told us about mullein and that his mom would give them a tea made of leaves when they had colds and flu. Even though he never made it himself, he kept that plant in honor of his mother.

It works

    The wife and I have been harvesting Mullien for a couple years, mainly just the leaves which we would dry and use for tea, smudge, and smoking mixture. We really enjoyed watching this video which touched on the use of the flowers - something that we just simply didn't consider while harvesting the leaves! Today, the wife and I went out and harvested about 2 full Mason jars of just the flowers, going to follow your lead and make some medicine! My wife is Mi'qmaw from Bear River, Nova Scotia, and I am Shawnee. We often make medicines for our tribal elders. Coming across your videos was truly a blessing!! Thank you for posting!

    Last year I rescued a baby mullein form a lady who was killing them as weeds. I educated her in the value of the plant and she left two to mature and flower. My baby has grown to a 7 ft tall beauty and is flowering now but the leaves are like lace-work due to the mullein moth . It is the sole food source for this moth and I had quite a nursery of caterpillars but that's ok because the moth is a prolific night pollinator. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and deep wisdom, Yarrow.

    hippy - hippie |ˈhipē| (also hippy) (esp. in the 1960s) a person of unconventional appearance, typically having long hair and wearing beads, associated with a subculture involving a rejection of conventional values and the taking of hallucinogenic drugs." A sub culture started by MK Ultra and the CIA in Laurel Canyon stoner |ˈstōnər| 1 informal a person who regularly takes drugs, esp. marijuana : I was a real stoner when I was a teenager. 2 [in combination ] Brit. a person or thing that weighs a specified number of stone : a couple of 16-stoners. why do people insist on applying labels on people which were created by the powers that control us? This is nature, it's herbology, and anyone can learn how to it's old as the hills, it not a hippie's nor a stoner forte. It's not too likely anyone is going to save humanity when we can't can stop perpetuating the roles and labels assigned us..

    There is another use for Mullen that I think you left out of the video. The dried stalk of mullein plant, the inner trunk, was used to start fires by friction. Hand twirl the trunk against a flat board with a notch cut in it. This makes a good hot powder that turns into a glowing ember. Then you put that in a prepared bird's nest and blow and you have fire. Look up hand drill fire.

    3 Years later after my last comment here, I can attest to the power of mullein tincture to help my asthma. I take 15 drops of tincture in a glass of water once a day and so far I've not had to use the Advair inhaler for spring asthma. I'm allergic to albuterol and the alternative so I've been without an emergency inhaler since they discontinued Max Air. I also used it when I had a bad cold and was still coughing afterwards. And I do smoke too much. I did not make the tincture myself, but the plant does grow here and this year I'll make my own. It's a wonderful plant and I'm so grateful to it and how fast it works.

    delighted to have run into this video. Due to the Canadian wildfire smoke arriving in Ohio end of June 2023 I found myself wide awake at 3am gasping for every breath. The smoke was not visible and news did not adequately warn us to stay inside while this was occurring. I turned 60 this year and the after effects of covid which I caught real bad in Oct 2019 has diminished my energy level by half. Thankfully my A/C and Austin air filter spared me some of the misery I had on that first day thinking it was tree/grass pollen or some unknown malady. On my daily 4 mile walk up the road I noticed a super healthy plant which caught my attention. No more than a couple days later the top had been harvested by someone who beat me to it. Luckily I found several more tops not too far away which I grabbed up and brought back to my own garden. I read tea from the dried leaves is the easiest way to use it but am glad I researched it a bit before diving in. The tops I picked were by then dried and full of seeds which I read can be toxic. I nearly tried a cup of mullein seed tea which I see can be narcotic. Surprise. Always read or listen to an extremely cool and informed gentleman like this guy before taking the plunge. I'll be listening to your other videos real soon now I'm certain. THANK YOU

    I thought this was just a weed growing on the edges of my yard! For the past 5 yrs we've always cut it down, this year I decided to leave it alone to see if maybe it would flower. I am still shocked that I stumbled across this video while looking for info on growing 🌽. Instantly recognized it since this year I have full, beautiful, tall plants. Even better that it's medicinal. I'm such a fool for not doing research beforehand & just destroying it due to an assumption

    I collected comfrey, wild grape, and mullein leaves this fall. Dried them in a warm oven, then crushed them into a relatively fine powder. Storing the leaf powder in zip-lock bags, in the refrigerator. My intention is to add some of this dried leaf mixture to my potting soil next spring, hoping that it acts as a natural fertilizer. As a tobacco smoker with an occasional dry cough, I may try to burn some of the dried mullein and inhale the smoke. Hope I notice a difference in the cough. Yeah, yeah, I know, I should quit smoking. :)

But your comprehensive approach is so much better! I feel waaaay more confident with identification after watching you touch, harvest, manipulate, and stand next to the plants. Plus, your conversational style (injected with humor instead of lists) is engaging, easy, and inviting. Thanks for putting yourself out there.

I've been eating 'weeds' for a while - a friend we in a Russian Prison camp at one time - she was a child and they had nothing to eat - so they'd reach through small openings in the fencing around the camp and eat lamb's quarters. She told me this many years ago and I became fascinated by 'weeds' and how to use them - purslane came up all over our yard one year - just tons of it and a Native American friend told me that when a plant does this, it means you 'need' it - it was along time ago, but I had breast cancer, gallbladder explosion and other health issues then and I can't help but wonder if my land wasn't trying to tell me something.

    I had a friend who had pneumonia, they had released her from the hospital but her congestion was not getting any better. I gave her some dried Mullein leaves and told her to put 1 Tbsp in 1 1/2 cup of water, and boil it down to 1 cup. Drink it when it's cool enough for her. She looked at me like I was from another planet. I told her that the worst that could happen is that it won't work. Then next day she came in to work smiling, clear, and saying "it really worked". (Of course it works. I don't recommend anything to anyone, unless I know it works). She went back to the doctors for the pneumonia, and came to me for more Mullein.
