Bulk Mullein For the
Homesteading Medicine Cabinet
A year or so ago, a cough was going around in my family that no one could get rid of.
Finally, a family friend recommended we drink mullein tea sweetened with honey.
I was amazed at how quickly all of our coughs went away, and this wonderful herb has been a family favorite ever since.
Now I buy bulk mullein regularly and keep it on hand.
Mullein works by soothing an irritated throat and therefore easing coughing.
It has a soothing and softening effect on the skin as well.
It also works as an astringent, stopping the flow of blood or other secretions.
The next time you have insomnia, make a cup of Mullein tea.
An infusion of the herb works as a mild sedative to help you sleep.
You can also relieve hemorrhoids by applying a poultice of Mullein to the affected area..
Steep the flowers in olive oil for 21 days, and then apply it to cuts and scratches to kill germs.
Growing Tips
Start this herb indoors in a window greenhouse.
It's important to start them inside, because birds, especially finches, love the seeds and will likely eat them before they have a chance to sprout.
Press the seeds gently into a growing medium and give them two weeks to germinate.
Transplant the seedlings into a larger pot and then put them in your garden in the early summer.
Your Mullein plants will produce flowers the following year.
