I make tea with the leaves
I found it growing in my garden what a gift...the birds and fairies sent them
How wonderful having it grow in your garden!!!
@@EdibleWildFood-1 ...Very lucky ...i didn't know what it was at first then checked on my plants app but not a great deal of details so grateful for your uploads at least j know a bit more now about this wonderful plant
@@lilianflynn198 I am so glad to hear you are enjoying the vids and gaining knowledge!!!!!!
God sent them
I grow them in my backyard and they attract a certain type of bird with white tail feathers that pecks on them like a Woodpecker after they bloom. I've had them stay up 4 years, and I spread the seeds around open areas. Thanks for the video and great information.
I Had One Grow To 7 Feet Tall In My Yard 2 Years Ago. I Think It's Still Standing There . Thanks For The Info .
You are most welcome! Wow - that's a tall one!!!!
Ive been coughing for a week. Today i smoked the dried flowers. Its all i had. And it helped me!
Nice!
Remove the veins in the leaves before smoking it to take harshness away :)
Thanks Rob!!!
Yes sir you got that right
You can smoke it?
@@malinoisamericanakita2022 Yes the Native Americans used it as medicine that way,
"Human Connections
For millennia Europeans have used mullein to treat lung, skin, and digestive problems. Native Americans quickly grasped its medicinal value and also smoked it. The flowers yield yellow or green dye. The stalks, with wax or oil, can be used as torches. The leaves have been used for diapers and shoe insoles".

@@malinoisamericanakita2022 I've heard that some people do.
Thanks for your video! I have some mullein in my garden and didn’t know what a great plant it was! I’m planning to dry some leaves to make tea and use the flower to make the ear ache medicine. I like how clear and informative your video was. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing! I am truly thankful!
Thank you for all of the valuable knowledge. I can sense your passion for wild plants and foraging through your voice alone. Amazing content.
Thank you - and yes, I have a deep passion for wild foods! Thank you for watching and your kind words!
Brilliant, thank you. 4:12
You are most welcome!
No, I have not heard from your publisher, but people are enjoying the last of the summer before we start thinking about the joys of the winter ahead. So no worries. Yesterday I made mullein tea for a nurse who is suffering from a terrible cough and sore throat. Oh, I added a number of other wild edibles and she said she got relief pretty fast from them. Beautiful people like you are to be thanked for all that you share. Thank you so much.
I am so touched by your kind words. Thank you so much. I'll let Hannah know (she is my contact person at the publisher)!!!!! I love how you are spreading the goodness of wild plants!!!!
@@EdibleWildFood-1 I owe you my deep gratitude for all that you teach here. You put me on a mission to be more self reliant and to help others gain a foothold in foraging. The time is coming when people will need these skills more than ever.
Thank you and know that your teachings ripple far beyond anything you can imagine.
@@jojow8416 We are going to have to have these skills.... I am so glad that you have become more self reliant! It is important... and prepping.
I love this plant I’m off to collect some tomorrow to ease my cough thank you so much ❤
Hopefully you find a lot!!!
You are going to be fun to follow
Ah thank you and I am glad you are here!!!!
I somehow missed this video when going through your videos. Three years ago I found a Mullein plant, dug up the root and planted it on my property. I know have many of these gorgeous Heaven reaching plants to enjoy their glorious uniqueness.
Thank you for this video and God continue to bless us all with your wisdom and knowledge.
You are so sweet - thank you!! Did my publisher get in touch with you?!
I have a Great Mullein growing next to my shed ..it's got to be at minimum 7ft tall.
Nice!!!
Thank you for the wonderful and informative video, please keep making more 🌿
You are most welcome! I shall keep them coming!
Thank you so much for the information. I will share it with people that I know.
I am truly grateful for your support!
It grew in my vegetable garden this year and was going to rip it out but didn't because it was very pretty. I'm glad I didn't now because of its properties. Question, can I dehydrate it? Love your knowledge, thanks for your time spent on making videos for us, xo
Ah, thank you Gerald! I have never dehydrated my plants - always air dried. You probably could though but I think when the drying process is accelerated the plant can lose some nutrients - - - I have read that somewhere but don't recall where. Lucky you saving the mullein in your garden! I appreciate the feedback!
Great video, I was looking at buying some mullien tea until I recognized the flower on the package. They are all over my property, I just hadn't learned the name.
Nice - homegrown!!
Is mullein the same as lambs ears? Its so pretty, i had no idea its helpful. Thank you for this video 💕💖👍
Hi there.... Lamb's Ear is a different plant.... in Latin it is Stachys byzantina. Thank you for watching!
Happily subbed.
Smoking the little yellow mullein flowers is the only thing that really helps my severe coughing fits. You can use the leaves as well but the flowers work better. Just don't smoke the seeds, it will make you dizzy.
Very informative! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! And you are most welcome!
thanks
❤
Thanks for the great video! Would hanging mullein upside down in a dark place be a good way to dry them?
Thank you for the kind words! I dry mine in a room that has no direct sunlight (very important). I also have a hanging herb dryer that I use for the leaves. If you go to Amazon and search herb dryer you'll see!! It is really cool!
EdibleWildFood.com Awesome thanks again!! Also your blog has been super helpful and informative for me, really appreciate all the wisdom you are sharing 🙏✨
@@brianarivera-brasch7373 Thanks so much! Kind words like that is the fuel that keeps me going!
Can I make a tea from the flowers and buds, stems wtc. No leaves to boil😢
Will you gain the bronchial benefits from making a tea? And must the leaves be dry when you make the tea?
Mullein leaf tea can help loosen bronchial secretions and make elimination of mucus easier. Fresh or dried!
I've heard from a couple sources to only use the first year new growth, not to harvest the blossoming phase. Is there a reason for that?
When a biennial is in the second year, the energy of the plant is 'focused' on the flower then seed production; therefore the health benefits in the second year leaves lessens (not diminishes).
I have watch many videos on Mullien, as I am learning about all the wonderful things this wonderful plant has to offer. There are many differing set of opinions. Keep researching and you will be lead to the information you are needing. May good health be with you and the love of learning about the amazing wild growing plants our Father in heaven has blessed us with to utilze😃❤️🙏🏼 Blessings
Are you able to tell me how to harvest and use the roots for tea? Is it beneficial or are the leaves/flowers better? Thanks!
Flowers infused in oil is good for ear aches. The leaves are used for tea but if you were inclined to, gather the roots, clean them and use them too. Leaves (and roots) of the first year plant is best!
Can they be used on pets? I have one that has an ear issue.
Yes.. wagwalking.com/wellness/the-benefits-of-the-mullein-herb-for-your-dog
Can the roots be used for pain?
Yes and no. You need to determine what is the cause of your pain and where exactly is it in the body. And always keep in mind, what works for one person does not always work on another. Hope that helps!
I still am not quite sure of the plant that I han in my garden. It got more leaves at the beginning then u is the flower stem with little white flowers. The leaves dry up also the plant when seeds are ready
With that description I am not able to help you. White flowers are not mullein.
Does this apply to wand mullein?
No - Verbascum thapsus only.
@@EdibleWildFood-1 thank you! So wand mullein is not useful?
@@WendyHammarstrom Verbascum virgatum is useful. How, I am not sure. It is one of those plants that are hard to find science on it in regards to nutritional content and medicinal uses. If you email me, whenever I find information I can let you know. My email is info (at) ediblewildfood.com and my name is Karen!
We’ve got two encroaching 8 feet.
Wonderful!
Louise? Louise Belcher?
