Frontier Co-Op, Organic Mullein Leaf, Chopped Leaf, 453G (16Oz)

Product Description: Commitment to People and the Environment Cooperative since 1976 USDA Organic Certified by QAI Verbascum thapsus NO Irradiation The soft, smooth leaves of the Mullein plant are a soothing herbal tea. Used as an ingredient in ointments and poultices, they provide the same soothing skin benefits. Mullein is characterized by its large, densely hairy leaves and large, stately flower stalks, making it an easy-to-find plant. Native to Europe and Asia, Mullein has become naturalized throughout North America and Asia. It grows in a variety of areas, from dry, rocky areas to barrens and field edges. Mullein is usually a biennial, sowed in the second year and then dies. The first-year plant has a rosette of elliptical, hairy, gray-green leaves. In the second year, the leaves at the base of the plant (basal leaves) grow larger and longer, and smaller leaves grow below the flower stalk, which is 1 to 5 feet tall. If you have a plant with more than one stem pointing upward, it is usually because the original stem has been damaged. The fragrant yellow flowers and flower buds are densely packed around the stem. As the energy and potency of the leaves move up the stem to the flowers, the larger lower leaves turn yellow and lose their potency.

How to use: To enjoy as a tea, pour 2 teaspoons or more into 8 oz of boiling water. herbs. Cover and steep for 5-10 minutes, then strain and drink immediately.
