Mulling over Mullein | Benefits and Uses with Yarrow Willard (Herbal Jedi)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- 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.

• Who Is Harmonic Arts B...
My husband had coronavirus and could not make it seven feet without stopping to catch his breath, it was horrible but he was not sick enough to be on a ventilator so we just had to find a way to help him at home after weeks of drinking at least a half gallon of mullein tea per day sweetened with honey and flowers of the mullein plant he is still having leftover covid-19 but his breathing has improved 100%.I am not a doctor and I'm not saying Mullen is a cure I'm saying Mullen has been used for millennia for bronchial issues it has been used for so long for one simple reason...... It works
This is a good point. Of course, no one should avoid medical care if they need it, but using herbs like mullein with histories of use for conditions like COVID-19, should be explored. Always seek medical help as indicated.
Half a gallon a day???
Missa Del glad hes better
@@dannyleonidas4328 he drinks that in water or sweet tea a day anyway, so instead of sweet tea and became mullein tea
@@sandrastreifel6452 Why? Seek medical help so they can write you up a prescription? That's all medical help does these days ... many docs admit it too!
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.
❤love that he did this❤
It makes really nice tea. I have a bag of the stuff in my tea cupboard.
I can relate, I have several inherited and hand me down plants as well as some started on my own. Had old school country dairy farmer grandparents and being able to truly “live off the land” was a big source of inspiration, motivation and pride for them. If the poor didn’t make food, the rich would have to eat their money.
@MrIgottap ha! Good one. "Source of pride" I'm feelin' it, too, just bc I chose to mow around this "weed" for the past couple of yrs, just to see what it would turn in to. After 2 yrs of drought, in MN, there's been abundant rain for weeks, now, so the 4 Mulleins in my front yard look quite healthy! One has grown to 5.5', the others to 3'. Just this week, I learned of the med properties & will harvest. ptL! This is an exc video!
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!
Blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪 to you and your beautiful people ❤
Seeds stun fish when thrown into water. Root cures scoliosis apparently too.
You can smudge with the leaves? Like a sage stick?
@@deannatroy8113
How do you use it for that?
Everyone is so focused on the respiratory aspects of mullein, but has anyone else besides me realized how great it is for IBS and everything digestive?
Does it help with constipation?
Thank you for bringing that up. I've heard about that maybe once before, and yeah now more often for respiratory. 😊
I have glorious Mullein plants all over my yard. I am so grateful. I believe that God allows certain medicinal plants to grow in your vicinity when you need them. I am using them this year. Every year I have different medicinals growing more than others.
Thank you, teacher.
It does say in the bible that god put herbs on earth for us to use...
Yes I also totally agree that source leads us to medicinal plants in our environment as we need them. (And if we are connected enough to notice)
I have recently fallen in love with meadowsweet growing wild around where I live. I have harvested it and am loving the tea which is helping me with spinal pain and stomach issues. ☺️💕
Do you have seeds please
@@marytom2187 I bought some plants from Atwood's. 1st time I've seen them for sale in a herbs, they were in the same place with sage and parsley plants. I bought 2 plants and they are coming up now, but I'm not sure if they will get frost bit or not.
I don’t know where my Mullen came from but I can’t seem to keep it out of an area I dedicated to other herbs like Lavender, Echinacea and Tyme
This guy is such a great teacher.
I heard, from my mom, who'd learned botany: Native Americans used mullein leaves as handy insoles in their moccasins. I tried them. The puffy leaves are comfy. Don't last long. But there's always more.
I noticed that all of your mullein only had one stalk. Did you know that if you cut the main flowing stalk (I usually just take half off), it will send up numerous more flowing stalks - usually 8-10 flowering spires! Increases harvests immensely!
Wow, Thank You!!! It popped up this year or I just became aware of it and I have 1 two year plant (starting to flower and then two 1st year plants… I am So Excited about this Amazing Gift From God! I am going to do this once it grows, Thank You!
Also, WHEN is the best time to cut the stalk for it to grow multiple stalks
Thanks great video
FYI, You asked, "my most out of many amazing results with Mullein... I quit smoking by smoking Mullein without any withdrawal it also healed my lungs!"
Hope - I did the same with dried and minced Coltsfoot.
@@thetessellater9163 I will keep that in mind! Love your channel! I got to go to your website!
Thank you Hope Goerner! Ex smoker here , but my R lung is hurting so, I hope it's not what I suspect. Thank you for your witness, now to find me some Mullein. God Bless you, Hope!
Did you dry it out before you smoked it? I think I have a Mullen plant that popped up in my back yard. I would love to use it to help my grandfather quit smoking traditional store bought cigarettes. Any advice would be great! Thanks.
I think I will try that.
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.
I find it interesting that this year the mullein is the most prolific that i have ever seen; literally blanketing huge areas, where there would have been one or two plants before. Nature has a way of providing what we need. Thankyou for your encouragement!!
In my area of Indiana, we are seeing a lot of cleavers, more than i have ever seen in my life, but I have absolutely no purple dead nettle. Not one... In my first herb bed, I had a cedar tree pop up & I think it killed everything, but the garlic & oregano. Cedar is considered sacred, but it just might have to go.
1000% I've noticed!!! Especially with the wild fires crazy thank you Mother Earth!
Same here in Ohio
Never knew what it was. Gold at your feet. Thank you for showing me mullein.
Having watched numerous videos regarding medicinal plants over the years I have to say none have been so well edited, informative and easy to watch as yours. Not only do you produce quality videos but they are also produced in a brilliant quantity.
WinterDomeFly thanks for your comment and appreciation for the work we put into creating these videos.
WinterDomeFly I totally agree 👍
I agree. My kids and I just found this channel today and they are enjoying it too. Mullein is one of our favorite allies! :D
second that
This is the kind of worldiness I can truly envy. I love seeing people living my dream, self sufficient/reliant homestead living. It gives me hope.
I swear hippie stoners will save the world! This is fun to watch and I'm learning so much! Thank you kind sir for sharing your gift with the rest of us :)
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..
They’re capable of loving it to death, as well.
@wulfgar3000 Really?
I was thinking more of a pagan
theyre not stoners, theyre responsible sustainable lifestyle herbalist youtubers. Not stoner hippie losers who didnt care about anything except getting high and screwing lots of people. Get your subcultures right.
Great video. I've used mullein root for many years as a tincture for low back pain. It's the best low back pain remedy ever! In addition, I've also used the tinctured stalk to aid in back pain, corresponding to the spine: upper part for the neck, middle part for mid-back, and root for low back. Thank you Yarrow!!!
Great video! The plant showed up in my mom’s yard 2 years ago and we were awed & baffled by its appearance. I told her God put it there for a reason. Now, there are several that have popped up. 😮 Thanks to your video, we now know what they’re for & what to do with them.
Same happened in my yard, right before COVID. I took it as a sign that I was being guarded, because I am prone to upper respiratory infections.
Ecclesiasticus 38:4
[4]The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
I guess I'm wise?
Cannot smoke weed anymore, so I'm going to make mixes of other herbs to get an effect.
Nutmeg and sage, catnip(has a history beyond cats) relaxes me.
I smoked tea before, that works too
@@williamslack3886 catnip is great for settling one down and helping them. Relax. I would also try kava
@@williamslack3886 ashwagandha & dandelion root tisane is soothing as well.
I dont want to smoke weed anymore because the bible says to be sober.
Amen
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.
Nick Victor totally going to try this!
@@li-elmoriginsfarmcraft79 Cool...let me know how it turns out.
All the potheads asleep in the back woke up when you started talking about healing your lungs
Smoke the mullein and there’s a reason edibles exist.
💚Brother, your content is top-notch! I'm a fellow forager with a small channel, and I genuinely look up to you. Your dedication and talent are evident, and I'm excited to see what you'll create next. Keep shining and inspiring others! 🌿
I have stopped on the side of the road to dig up mullein plants to transplant to a field near my house. They're beautiful.
I agree. I just got my plant and transplanted it into large pot.
Genuine Q - is that legal where you live? Many countries have strict rules on digging up wild plants to protect habitats.
@@jennysmith61 I haven't heard that it's illegal. Mullein isn't native to the US so it's probably not an issue. It's feral rather than a wild plant.
@@snakejumper3277 That's interesting - thanks. I don't live in the US so was curious.
@@jennysmith61 That is a good question! it is extremely important to be responsible. I took my Mullen from a "meadow" in a somewhat industrial area. Normally, they mow the whole thing down....so many different plants! And it pisses me off, along with these guys🐁🐿🐇🐣🐤🐥🐦🦅🦋🦋🐌🐛🐜🐝🐞🐞🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🕷🕸🐝🐝🐝🦋 etc. And, then all the money spent on "save the bees" ad campaigns, on cereal and what not. smh🙌💜🍀🦋🐝🐞
Dried mullein stalk also makes a fantastic handle spindle for starting friction fires! just make sure to whittle off the rough parts first to make it easier on the hands.
Great tip Dino!
Thank you for this!!
The inner pith of mullein stalks works like charcloth for Flint & Steel. The pith will catch sparks in its charred and uncharred states.
Nice bow drill idea!!
@@duxdawg so if i cut the stalks and let them dry, they are good fire starters?
Hey...that shirt...I just realized what it says!! That must mean I'm learning something! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge in such an engaging way. Anyone who watches these videos has to feel your love, respect and reverence for the beautiful, miraculous plants God has put on this earth for our use. Thank you!!
Amazing, I've been fighting diabetes for 22 years. A brittle diabetic, up to 7 shots a day. I've been praying for God to give me knowledge somehow. A couple weeks ago I found out there is a white mulberry and crabapple tree in the yard of my new house. So a couple days ago, I'm driving along and noticed many of these majestic plants growing for miles along the road. I thought they were so cool so stopped and got about 20 of them. Then today in my UA-cam suggestions is this video! Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for this and thanking God for helping me also get this info! 🙏💙🤍✝️
Black seeds for diabetes 1👍
@@ambercseay please clarify, also how to take it. Thank you
Be careful about roadside finds. Car exhaust , maybe the city or county sprays insecticides or weed killer.
@@ambercseay are you referring to the seeds of this plant?
I SO wish I had found you earlier in the year...above where I live there is a 6' tall or taller Mullein that constantly called to me, that I visited as often as possible and sat at her base where I felt so calm...now I know that she would not have been offended had I picked her flowers or leaves...the good news is that she has many children scattered among the briars and underbrush and today I will be going up to visit and give thanks for this "new to me" knowledge !!
I was looking in the field at my sister's house and I thought what is that plant out there? I thought it looked like lambs ear. I haven't heard you say lambs year yet, I'm still watching. Going to check this out.
It does worry me to start smoking or drinking a plant. Not many people know the old native and American and Old timer cures and planets.
I'm telling everyone about a video I watched the other day called Appalachian mountain witchery.. WOW! You want to talk about a interesting subject.
@@human-qp1mfAppalachian mountain witches were (still are) a real thing. There are good ones and evil ones.
@human-qp1mf it is not Lambs Ear.
Love this plant, it started growing in my lettuce patch and I ate it thinking it was lettuce and noticed I was able to cough up phlegm afterward. Then it started growing it's stalk and realized it wasn't Lettuce and used my Picture This App to find out what it was. Amazing Plant!!
We always called this plant "Jacob's staff" I was aware of some of it's properties but I learned a lot of new ones. Thanks!
We call it lambs ear
We called it Indian Tobacco. (It's totally smokable!)
@@hillbillyheart217 lambs ear is more of a bushy plant but it too has fuzzy leaves and blue flowers.
Pull mullein up by the roots and hang upside down inside to keep out flies. Works great in milk barns and cabins. Come spring, all the dried parts can be used.
I love this channel! I love your ways of teaching, your spirit and your enthusiasm for the natural world. I'm so so glad I found your channel!!!
Youth
I too am very thankful for happening upon your channel! Hey I’m old too! So the “Youth” comment is bogus!!! I think this video is one of the best I’ve ever seen! I am a teacher and I’m going to tell my students about your UA-cam channel! Thank you for the way you have about yourself and the person you are! Seriously, get video that’s absolutely crammed pack with information!! 💜🤷♀️🙏🏼🤓
@@dulineboodoo335719:24
This was great! I never knew what Mullein was but I have three huge ones in my front landscape bed and I thought they were some kind of weed but too cool looking to pull out, so I just let them grow. So glad to learn about their value!
If you take a plant identifying app to your yard, and look at what each plant is and does, you would find out that there are very few plants that are actually weeds
LUCKY YOU !❤️😇
I totally agree with what you said about being in a deep meditation as you harvest and connect with the different plants, thanks for the massive amounts of info!!
✨✨✨💓✨✨✨
Mullein is saving my life during and after these fires in Oregon, I actually uploaded a video of harvesting while the smoke was getting bad, incredible medicine.
I use mullein as a part of herbal smudges. Sage is well known for its spiritual cleansing properties, but this is one of the countless other herbs that also does. Why buy white sage smudge sticks shipped from across the country when you can collect native spiritual herbs and make your own?
Andrew Kimmey so true
so this is something that I did not know and I thank you for posting it in my house we drink mullein tea and I make mullein cough medicines and we use it for a million different things. This will be a new use for us. Thank you
That is good to know. I cant use sage as a smudge. I will have to try this.
Where can we get some Mullins seeds?
@@margaretsmith-thomas1773 Strictly Medicinal sells mullein seeds
Finally UA-cam's algorithm recommends something worthwhile. I'm only a few years into growing some of my own foods. I'll be sure to try out muellin too!
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 appreciate how kindly and clearly you teach. Thanks for all this--the content is incredibly important.
Love this, I have not had bronchitis in 7 years now thanks to mullin.
I'm so happy I found your site. 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 really enjoy your videos! If you have not yet done it yet I would love to see you preparing different forms that you speak of such as tincture verses tea. Visual helps me a lot! God has certainly gifted you and I thank you for sharing your gift in such a wonderful way!
Interesting, just a few days ago noticed I have more purslane than ever before. We
Need to listen!!
I find your comment interesting. I have never seen this plant before, but this year it is growing all over our property and I just got the feeling I needed to find out what it was and what it did. Your comment that we might "need" it just makes sense. Thank you!
@@lhacker412 I agree with you. I'm new to herbs so I only make teas out of them and buy tinctures. The thought of making tinctures is still daunting to me...like what type alcohol to use, how to condense it. I've heard herbalists mention equipment I've never seen, etc. Have you heard of spagyrics? I have no idea how to make those. Blah, blah. At least I'm not alone here.
@@Brendi6969 Me too.
Oh my goodness! I was just passing through Chesaw and saw someone that looked similar to you foraging on a hillside by the road. Then this video pops up! Great video. I like that plant.
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. :)
Did mullein help with the cough?
I grew up in a woodsy region in the 1970s. My bother and I used to play with the long Mullen stalks...they made great props for all sorts of kid fun.
I think Matthew Wood mentioned children using them for swords.
We made sandels out of several layers when we were kids. Lol
Greetings from Germany. Mullein always was my favorit plant. We call it "Königskerze" (kingscandle).
Thank you for this very well made video.
It's great to see someone doing what they love and sharing it. It definitely increases the viewing pleasure - Thank You!👍
I so enjoyed watching my mullein grow, it just brought me a lot of happiness to see it grow and I do like the tea very much.
Just beginning my journey into herbalism but it all began when our newly installed septic field and several other areas around our yard sprouted dozens of mullein plants our first spring. Last year we enjoyed mullein tea frequently. This year, I'm adding herbalism to our homeschool curriculum. Your videos will go nicely with the beginning herbs book we're reading through. The chickens ignored it until we had a rooster that decided he liked it. Suddenly they all started eating it like candy!
Great to know. I'll try some on our chickens today.
What a great idea for your children's curriculum. Much respect. Would u mind sharing the book your also using
What a wonderful curriculum. I don't home school, but I do a class in life skills. Maybe I could add this in.
Sorry for the delayed response I didn't see a notification come through. I have been using the Herbal Jedi videos, Wildcraft game & website, and Rosemary Gladstone's book about herbal remedies.
Oh my! I've finally found out what these fuzzy little plants are,that sprouted up in my yard. I've fiercely protected them and even transplanted a few to keep them safe from harm. I guess they just gave off that healing vibe that I really need. Hoping I can implement their use with my holistic Lyme treatment. Thank you!
Me too late stage lymr but still going God willing .Herbs have so much other chronic Lyme warriors
Hello from Michigan, my husband and I bought our homestead four years ago and I noticed this beautiful plan the year we moved in never thought anything of it, till this year when I came across a video talking about it, we have it growing wild in our woods, I'm feel so blessed to have over 30 plants growing wild. I plan on harvesting, I still am watching videos about this amazing plant. I have chronic rheumatoid arthritis. Back pain that never goes away. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
do you use it as a tincture or your back pain?
I can’t keep up! Living in the Okanogan! Three thousand feet up in the Highlands and not enough mason Jars!
LoL. What a great year. The earth is having me work over time! So much Mullein , Yarrow and Arrowroot Balsam!
God is so cool.
This is my first video I just found of yours as a beginner forager/herbalist and I've instantly fallen in love with your channel! So informative and knowledgeable. Going over the connection with our bodies and the plants...when you mentioned the roots being for deep down issues I realized: the flowers (tops) you said are great for the ears (tops), the leaves (middle) are great for lungs (middle), the roots (lower) are good for tummy/uterine (lower). Amazing! You've got an instant subscriber here.
Shay Sinclair same here!
This plant is all over growing wild all around me and you just answered every question I ever had about it.
THANK YOU!!!!
Watching this as a friend has brought me soooo much! I just started 2 tincture jars, & I have a room full drying. Thanks for the info 🥰
I had pneumonia and sepsis. I tried mullein as tea and within two days l showed improvement. I have been getting better every day.
Now I need to find mullen seeds so I can grow my own!
You're a damn good teacher, sir. Subbed after just two minutes.
I'm excited to start consuming all your content. Keep up the great work, Yarrow!
Yarrow! I have watched several of your videos, and I think they are great. Other presenters edit their videos down to only a few minutes and tend to cover just the most popular uses of a plant. 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.
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.
I just made my first whole mullein tincture (flower, leaf, and root). I am so excited to try it and give some away :) I love your videos and your soul. Thank you so much for teaching thousands of people on the plants around us and how to interact with them. Keep shining!
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 did the same 😂 now we know❤️
I've seen it before in fields, too and had no idea what it was. The fuzzy leaves always grabbed my attention.
It is there when we need it I believe
O
For years have been looking for the name of this plant..that had just turned up in my garden..at first found it to be invasive...then found i liked it ..just need to cut back seed heads to prevent too many plants..it is now a featured plant in my garden..am going to try some of it’s properties...🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love the down to earth clarity you explain and help us better remember and learn.
I breathe deeply from the fresh leaves. SO much better than an inhaler! And no shaking:))
I had a contract to mow the roadsides with my heavy equip and I would sometimes mow around a fine specimen of mullein. Boy did that ever piss off the lawn nazis. They knew I was notrightinthehead. Some people are proud of their purposeful ignorance/arrogance.
Thanks, haven't had a kiss in a while.
Kiss from a man, he he
They herbicide the hell out of Mullien around here. Some grew to near 7 feet along the railroad tracks... They missed killing several stalks.
Thank you for sparing the mullein!! I think it is an amazing plant.
God Bless you
Thanks, man , I like mullein in Saginaw Michigan here I notice it everywhere all round about ... Praise God for mullein.
I'm a newbie in growing wild Mullin, and it's in the 2nd year of growth, but I don't have a clue how to use/dry or anything. But thanks for the video it's been really helpful. I'm so glad I didn't miss this opportunity to see it. I live in the woods in Oklahoma and am limited to what I can do because of health issues.
It is easy to dry plants.I use the clothes drying rack,put clean gauze,plants on top of it,and cover them with another clean gauze.Put in the shade,not in a sunny spot,as sun will destroy many of valuable things in the plants.Also,when dried in the shade,they will preserve the great smell and aromas.
Yes when it's warmer outside its easy to dry by hanging in tied bunches indoors too 🙂
I sometimes have asthma attacks. That’s when I put dried mullein in a pipe and light it. After 2-3 inhalation’s, the smooth muscle in my lungs relaxes and the asthmatic spasms go away. I also notice I am able to cough up mucous from my lungs. And no side effects, like jitters and nervousness like you get from inhalers. I am not telling people to ditch their inhalers for mullein, but just give it a fair try, with the inhaler close at hand.
Like a pipe we smoke marijuana out of?

Just a regular pipe you can smoke tobacco out of.
I gave up all inhalers due to the side effects and now use a full conifers & eucaliptus plant extract when needed. Works better than any inhaler for my severe asthma and NO side effects. But it does nothing to clean up the guck out...will try get this mullein . Thanks
A guy almost fell on me and was fading fast with a SEVERE asthma attack. I instantly gave Him mullen tincture and within 2-3 MINUTES...He was blown away how He was INSTANTLY better !!!

And no side effects, like with a chemical inhaler! Now I want to make a mullein tincture!
I will never throw this weed away from my garden again. I never knew this about Mullein I never even knew it called that until today thank you for this information I guess we can never stop learning in life.
Thank you, Yarrow. I enjoyed the talk you gave at HealthyWays, CR, on blended drinks with Harmonic Arts. Your videos are SO FULL of info, and this is proving that you CAN 'teach an old dog new tricks'!! You are much like one of our sons, who naturally encourages us to learn more about healthy ways to connect with the love of life, and we're fortunate to have a son-in-law who does marvelous videos for CR, so much like your style. Please don't stop sharing this talent you have...you are appreciated, by MANY, I'm sure.
Man, you know your stuff...
Thanks for sharing!
Back to mother nature is the way forward.
Love and peace
I have dry ear canals and because of that condition, I get ear infections often. I’ve just started growing this beautiful plant and I’ve grown so attached to her. This plant is incredible to connect with spiritually if you know how. She is really cool to have around. I call her Queen Mullein.
Connecting with it won't help your ears. 🤣
@@cheezheadz3928 you don’t know what you’re talking about. You connect spiritually by working closely with plants. Then make infusions from the plant itself. Are you daft?
Just watched my first video of you. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you! I look forward to learning more about herbs from you.
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.
You are defo the Herbal Jedi broder!! Love it!!
Incredible. I want to start planting, harvesting and sharing Mullein with others....thank you. Jason from Tennessee
What a lovely gentle soul. Informative and fun video. Thank you for sharing.
My grandpa used to smoke Mullin during WWII when there was a shortage of tobacco.
Love your knowledge and the spiritual connection you have with the plant energy, all the best from the UK
I have been looking for a herb remedio for my asthma... and guess what... Almighty sent a see of this mullein plant in the front of my house... it grows big since last year... and soon will start its flowers... I am so crazy with it. I am so happy with it too because it works better than the vaccines that is going around... thanks for sharing... 🌺
Another excellent video! I started my mullein flower oil this morning before watching this but forgot to wilt the flowers first, thanks for reminding me. I'll start a second batch and compare them.
One trick I learned to help infused oils keep longer is to add a little salt (I use celtic) after the herb has been strained out. If there is any moisture, it grabs onto it and takes it to the bottom, then you can pour the oil off & leave the watery part behind.
I use mullein for swollen glands, too. As a compress, or the oil topically or the tincture of the leaves internally. It's also helpful for groin injuries.I make mullein cough syrup by the jar & keep it handy for coughs/irritation from the dry air we have from heating with wood.
I use the root a LOT. I make a decocted tincture, then put that in a spray bottle. I have a hip joint that plays up on me occasionally, if I spray that on at night and rub it in, it never fails to help the joint to slide back into place. Good for a 'crick in the neck' as well. It smells like vanilla, delicious. The excellent herbalist jim mcdonald uses root tincture by the drop, internally, for similar purpose.
WOW! I just cut down a spent mullein plant, but the root is still there - i need to GO GET THAT THING lol
This man has the best presentations I've seen. !!!Easy to stay focused and moves right along.
This video sent me on a Mullein journey in 2020. I got to use the roots in a tincture to help fix some of my Dad's prostate issues. The leaves helped my lungs get better after Covid. I hope the seeds I spread at my house grow up this summer.
You have a New Subscriber ! Love how well You Explain The Info of The plants.
Thank you So much.💯🇺🇸
I did a plant spirit drum journey with mullein and he (he's a he to me:) gave me a big soft light green blanket to use for comfort when I needed it;) I love MULLEIN!!!!
Candice Dunn I am definitely going to have to try that I am told I should use the drum for these reasons how should I begin?!!
You're so blessed to have land to grow things. My rental place in the city lacks that. Thank you for great information.
Found your channel today. So happy!
So glad I discovered Herbal Jedi channel! UA-cam suggested it to me. Valuable info from a sublime setting. Thanks for the heads up regarding garlic in oil, I had no idea about botulism. I have 3 week old batch of garlic submerged in olive oil in my fridge & now it's headed for the trash. Read that it's safer to store it 'frozen' which is what I'll do from now on.
We use Mullin tea for family member who has cystic fibrosis, helps him Alot! Also other herbs 🌿
That is excellent to know. My cousin has CF, so I'll have to let her know about this!
Dotty Melton, do you dry the flowers first for making tea or fresh? Thanks
@@denniskwasnycia1950 dried is what I use. And astragalus! Usia
@@dottymelton5836 Im not sure what Astragalus is or Usia, but I will look it up. Thanks!
......do you know any herbs that help with M S ? My wife was recently diagnosed with it and will have to inject herself daily per her Dr . Oh my how I wish you could help me ......thanks ! Maranatha !
Absolutely love this video, and you’re right, mullein has worked for me ! I’ve been using it for at least 10 years and the Mullien ear oil works wonders for ear infections . I would get compacted ear wax that would lead to infections and this has worked wonders. I used to flush the wax out of my ears when they would get clogged and then add a few drops of Mullien & Garlic or Mullien & St. John’s wort oil. Then, to prevent the wax from building up I’d use a couple drops a week to keep the wax soft. When I had ear infections, I’d put a dropper full in my ear and then use some cotton to keep the oil in my ear. Works amazingly well, but just a tip, if you warm the oil in the bottle first ( between your hands or under some warm water) it will work even better and be more soothing.
I’ve also used Mullien tincture to help with pink eye. The alcohol does sting though! So, I would use a drop of the tincture first then flush the eye with water, and would repeat that one more time. It usually only took one time (one day) for the pink eye to improve or go away completely. Sometimes it would take two days, but the symptoms were significantly better the second day. I also used the tincture for allergies. I would take a dropper full of the tincture each day when my allergies were bad, and it really helped. I still use the oil for my ears to this day, and have helped so many friends and family with ear pain over the years, and they’re all pleasantly surprised when it works 😉. I stopped using the tincture, though, because my allergies had improved by changing some things as he mentioned- cutting back on dairy. Hope this helps someone else out there with ear pain !
Jennie, I wonder if a tea or decoction would help with the pinkeye--no pain and perhaps still gain. It probably should be let cool down because I think of the pinkeye as a heat thing. Just guessing.
@@bobbiejofouts1708 Hey , thanks so much :) Actually, yes tea does work. I haven't tried it with Mullein , but I have made Chamomile tea, cooled it in the fridge and rinsed my eye out with the tea then placed a cool tea bag on the eye for 5 minutes. It works really well to soothe the irritation, but the Mullein works better for me in terms of infection and instant soothing. Never thought to make the 'eye tea' with Mullein as I never had the fresh herb/plant just the tincture, but next time I will try making a tea. Thanks for the recommendation ! * oh and just as a side note for anyone else, I ended up finding that diluting the tincture in some water first and then cleaning the eye with that tintcture /water mixture was also effective and didn't sting so much.
@@mamashomeschool935 Thanks for the feedback. In case you have it, you might even try aloe. I read in some book years ago that a man's herbal father used it for his eye when he injured it. Aloe is great to have around, so many uses...burns, ulcers and maybe eye injuries.
Nice! I've been using honey water for pink eye. I get very agitated and I do itch so its a wonder that it works on me and I forget about it not after too long and stop itching.
Our Dad (a herbalist) made this ear oil , & even though he’s been gone for years, our family has found that this mullein oil works WAY better than any prescription drug’s we’ve ever tried…..so we still make it…….& keep it in the fridge……
Tasting the plant realy gives you a belonging to the plant!
Thrilled to have stumbled upon your channel!! So much knowledge! Thank you for sharing! So grateful.
You are lovely!!!
Amazing passion!
The mullein is such a beautiful plant!
Most Excellent Informative Video! Thank You! Love watching & listening to you!
3 YEARS later....my urban patch has produced 3 beautiful verbascum. Thank you for enriching my experience with this vid. All I knew before was as a camping toilet paper (Verbascum for your Asscum).
Wonderful! Thank you, Yarrow.
I love your enthusiasm and knowledge! Your contributions to humanity's health and wellness is awesome!
Excellent video, just superb. All that knowledge genuinely flowing from you. Thanksfor sharing.
I love that connecting with the energy of the plants
2 minutes in and I already like this channel. Thanks mate.
Helps to be in an herb garden, for sure. I don't have that luxury. So I find a lot of herbs off the trails that I walk. I have an app on my phone, called "All Trails". It shows all the known trails near you. There are so many in my location I don't think I can ever walk them all. But, the idea is that I usually find some herb/plant on the edges of these trails. I then can mark the GPS location of the herb/plant or tree. So I have a ready made database of where my herbs/plants or trees of interest are. My herb garden is on the wild trails of New Hampshire.
That’s beautiful 💚
Sarah Meyers, thanks. 😀
No problems, only solutions! Way to adapt and overcome!! I am gonna follow your lead!!
@@stacielynn7929 ha, adapt and overcome. You get it. 👍
I use the same app for the same reason, along with marking various mushroom/mycelium locations here in MA. :)
Used to be in cigarettes for asthma sufferers up to the 1960s. My mom used them.
I found this growing in my yard in New Jersey and I knew it was special.
You make my smile…a man who loves his gift.
