I've been dealing with Covid Delta and the mullein plants growing on my property have been very help in keeping my lungs open and functional. I know it seems counterintuitive to smoke a leaf with lung inflammation, but lo and behold it works.
I made mullein tea first time yesterday and again today. Cleared up my chest and sinus congestion due to pollen. Also cleared out my stomach. I even feel high from it like a dreamy, calm feeling.
@dustin stafford Plucked the leaves from both young and old mulleins. Heated up some water and ripped the leaves up and soaked them in the hot water for 20 min or so.
Seminoles used to pull it by the roots when flowering. Then would hang it upside down drying it slow. It would then be ground using motor and pedistal. Mainly used break up congestion in lungs. Method for treatment was bringing water to boil in. Large cast iron. Calderon throw in the dried mullen, then take off fire, drape a blanket clever like a tent with patient under blanket, medicine man had a long wooden tube that was imersered between blanket a Calderon in the hot Mullen luquid. The medicine man would blow into the hot Mullen mixture and steam Mullen vapor would be made and inhaled by patient.
OK, here is my contribution and I am being serious. If you are caught in the wild unequipped and you gotta go, the beautiful wide durable soft fur covered leaves make a GREAT toilet paper alternative. When we were kids we even refer to the plant as the toilet paper plant. It is a life savor in a pinch, when you've gotta pinch.
Why are you shitting in the woods that often that you call it the toilet paper plant. Take a shit in the morning before u go out. If u gonna be there for a while as in a few days take a bucket and bring some toilet paper.

Hello, i am from the U K and have an allotment garden. That's a plot of land that is rented from the local council to grow food, keep hens and general garden. I was talking to another plot holder just a few days ago, who has one of them growing on his plot. I had not seen one before and was asking him about it. When it sets seed i will ask him for a few and grow it myself. I like the idea of the fire starter, from the dry stalk. I also did this once with a dry yucca flower stem, works in the same way. Thanks for the video.
Well, I love mullein and let it grow wherever it shows up on my property, plus i have made tinctures and salves with the leaves and flowers, but I never know about it’s amazing fire starting abilities. So cool!
Native American (Choctaw), leaves can be used to deprive water of oxygen for fishing (survival only), you can smoke the leaves effect like other green herbs, but this will clear up your lungs, seeds eaten as a pain killer does not last long, it also make great toilet paper
Mullein seeds were used for ages as a fish piscicide to stun fish in small streams and ponds lakes etc. The seeds are ground and than released into the water, soon after fish float to the top and are gathered.
@@rickhartman2106 you harvest and eat. It's illegal to do. If caught. But don't do it too often and only do it in small sections of streams her legs are rivers or ponds or whatever
Are the fish stunned or do they die? Reason for asking ...we have a grand 2 ac. pond full of fish. Problem is it's also full of lily pads that are impossible to kill. We're building an earth dam then draining half at a time. To enable us to SCRAPE the sludge, plant roots and decayed plant beds out. We need a safe way to move the fish . Because, with so many lily plants we're unable to drag a net.
Funny! I laughed too, then thought about it and I believe the little fibres on the leaves which are very soft small shards dispersed into the air when he shook the plant. He stated it's good for congestion and exactly that happened immediately with the cough upon breathing them in. He coughed which is the lungs clearing his chest. I have experienced the same reaction handling mullein, just little pecks but noticable.
It's all new, to me. But I've Allready decided, to pass, advice etc on to everybody I know, with sinus problems thank you. I believe it's a nature's, miracle...... ❤️ From South Africa,
Here's a thought... Just be your best self without wasting time lecturing about or judging who should do what. The irony in what I'm saying here is not lost on me.
Lol, me and my brother would use the dead leaves as tinder for starting fires, we called it “Plant flang” as a joke and never knew you could use it for smoking. There’s an abandon lot near our house and it’s filled with mullein growing up from the cracks in the black top.
@@patriciabolduc4613 that’s cool, I’ve found mullein everywhere since then. Sides of bike paths, in the woods, behind buildings and always in old cracked lots. I make mullein tea and I mix mullein with weed to make the joint last longer and to keep me from coughing a lot.
Excellent presentation. I love me some mullein plant. First or second year. It's the saguaro of the southeast. I need to cultivate the fire starting skill. Very cool.
There is a tincture available with muellin and garlic. Can be used to clear ear infections. Also works well on dogs. Thank you for your video. Making a fire by hand... awesome!!!
I’ve had these plants growing in my yard and I’ve been chopping them off thinking they useless 🥵🙆🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ I have a lot of plants growing in my yard and I think most of them are herbs. Thank you for the heads up 🤙🏾😎
Always thought these were wild tobacco plants.. Such a coincidence I ran across this because now I know whoever taught me that was wrong. They grow everywhere in TN. Of very great and interesting medicinal value. Iridoids, saponins, rotenone etc. Amazing little natural chemical factory, Mullein. Thank you for the video Suburban Foragers.
I make tea from the leaves and it is a helpful remedy for cough and congestion. I also let it grow undisturbed because the birds in the forest where I live really enjoy the flower parts. I enjoy watching the birds! The leaves are great natural "toilet paper" too. So soft! Charmin got nothin!
Ty 4 showing us the tip on fire starting with out matches every one could benefit in a survival case or when need I have know about mullien 4 a long time, & guess I better get back to using it again it seems to grow every where I move to .
The Common Mullein plant has also been grown for its oil in the plant, not one or two plants but farmed like sunflowers but I don't know if it was an experiment or if they still do it. I didn't know how well it makes fire, pretty cool.
Glad you guys didn't do a demonstration of what is one of mullein's most common uses in the wilderness areas of the South West US where it is often called Tipi plant. As a child, I heard that and had visions of Native Americans sewing leaves together and fashioning tarps to cover their Tipi with. I later learned that a more appropriate spelling of the nickname would be TP plant and the use that gave it the nickname wasn't actually quite so romantic lol.

Whatttt??? That is amazing! Thanks for sharing! So glad you found relief! 🎉
I'm recovering from covid19. I have been wondering about this. Good to know. Thanks.
Thanks. We're pleased that someone has taken the time out to watch it.
Does Mullien give you a youthful enthuisium when in use Mr. Suburban Foragers?
Suburban Foragers, thank you, sir
How can I get one plant?
Thank you for taking the time to explain
@@Sabrososrecurdos grows wild all over north America. Disturbed soils. People plant, as in where you find people you find it
ThT guy made fire as fast as I’ve ever seen. Bravo
The Most High just made me watch this... I literally just chopped down a Sunflower and saved the stalk not knowing what for! Amazing....
Me too, think he is tell us
something?🌹🙌🌹🙌
What was the sunflower stalk for?
Wow, me too. I split it open and thought, 'i wonder what this would be good for', I just got my answer. One consciousness, one love. ♥️
I made mullein tea first time yesterday and again today. Cleared up my chest and sinus congestion due to pollen. Also cleared out my stomach. I even feel high from it like a dreamy, calm feeling.
@dustin stafford Plucked the leaves from both young and old mulleins. Heated up some water and ripped the leaves up and soaked them in the hot water for 20 min or so.
@dustin stafford Either, but mostly fresh. The flowers too. They're extra strong.

I found some from my walk. I planted a sucker. I'll harvest up what I can when its ready.

Thank you for this video. Time we get back to our roots.
BTW, I've never tried it but I am told that the roots are eatable.
Thanks for teaching me how to start a fire with mullien
Other videos have mentioned mullein stalks as a fire starter,but it's great to see the demo!
Thank you

Taking olive leaf extract also helps alleviate asthma, even getting rid of it in children.
So it's a antihistamine? Anti serotonin?
Interesting never heard of it.
Truly one of the best videos I've seen. You opened my eyes and enriched my brain, bravo !
Check out turkey tail mushrooms
Thanks- the fire starter part was awesome!
Been using mullein for years for lung crud and anti viral. Good video. Learned some new things. Thanks for making this and sharing it. :)
+Sunny Skye Nature is forever giving. Even its waste serves a purpose. We have much to learn from this perfect system.

Watching in 2021 wow seen this plant for years thank you cheers from Pennsylvania 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These days, it's also good to know it can be used as toilet-paper ... sunflower leaves also 🧻🧻

Good tip on starting a fire with it. I've seen a lot of uses for it, but not that one.

trice g Mother Nature was created by Father God
Holy cow you made that fire fast. That is impressive. Thanks
I have a huge one in my back yard. It died and then grew back enormously! What an interesting video!

It protected my lung when I had heavy congestion, completely clear them up.
Great video. I've been trying to start a fire by friction for years maybe I just had the wrong spindle. Thank you very much. I'll give it a try.
my grandpa told me to dry the leaves & smoke them in a pipe for colds & sore throats,,, it really does work,,,that was in the 50's

really cool, possibly life saving info for lost hikers etc! great video! tks

Wasn't that amazing!? In no time...

So you can cut the leaves dry em up and make infusion ? And if yes , for what?
@@sergiogarcia8180 it helps with congestion.
Great job!!!

Love the fire bug.. good visit kids appreciate it....
if you are using it for medicinal purposes be very careful you do not mistake an early growing Foxglove as the same plant.
Yay awesome .
I don't have mullien around here but fennel is the same as it also has a pith.

There's a wild plant in the UK called spindle. It's berries can be dried, powdered, and used as headlice powder.
Great video.
Sumac also has a soft core. I have reamed them out to make pipes.
Now that was pretty damn cool!!
It’s great for fishing too😉
Watched. I just did a short video on mullein, too! Very cool! I will check out more of your stuff!
copperhead. Is the Mullein in this video the same as Moth Mullein ?
Thankyou. Very interesting.
Well done , thank you.
HaHa . I use the leaves for toilet paper . Its the best emergency leaves I have found .

thank you fantastic film
Simply informative direct usefull
Reminds me of the old movie quest for fire
good info guys
Excellent!🤩🔥❤

Yep, that's what we kids called it growing up. Beats using a stick or rock.
I'll try this! Thanks, for my asthma.
Some guy tried telling me it was a weed the other day. I told him the only weed around here is tumble weed.
It's a weed if you're trying to make hay for Livestock,,can cause mold.
Mullein grows everywhere around here. Acres and acres of it.
Thank you.

good job!
Thank you,
Is this good for people with COPD?
