Description
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a native plant that thrives in sunny, dry areas such as meadows, roadsides and fallow land. You can recognize this impressive plant by its tall, dead straight flower stem and yellow flowers. Mullein is known for its soothing properties for the respiratory system and its positive effects on the immune system.
The use of mullein goes back centuries. For example, it was used as a torch by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The hairy leaves were dipped in grease and ignited to give light. Moreover, in popular belief, it was considered a protective plant against evil spirits.

Attention for a moment
The leaves and flowers of mullein are covered with fine hairs, which can cause irritation in the throat or digestive tract if not sieved properly. Therefore, always ensure careful filtering when making tea.
People with sensitive skin or allergies to plants in the same family (such as plantain or goldenrod) may experience rare skin irritations or allergic reactions.
