Mullein tea was also used to relieve pain, especially that of arthritis, as well as other painful conditions. The Catawaba, Delaware, and Cherokee made a syrup from the leaves to soothe and relieve coughs. This unassuming plant has attracted over thirty common names. Like many other herbs, mullein was considered to have mystical, as well as medicinal, values and even Gerard, the 16th century herbalist, expressed both. The infused oil made from the flowers was a standby in many parts of Europe for such diverse ailments as hemorrhoids and ear infections. It was also used as a tonic for such wasting diseases as tuberculosis. The soft, fine hairs on the leaves make superb tinder.ĭioscoides used the herb for scorpion stings, eye complaints, toothaches, tonsillitis, and coughs. The tall stems of the herb were once burned as tapers in funeral processions. The Latin name is thought to be a corruption of barbascum from barba, meaning “beard,” likely referring to the plant’s furry leaves. Mullein is from the same family as the Foxglove, a noted source for the heart stimulant, digoxin. It also allows drops of rain to spill from its small leaves down to the larger ones and on into the root system, thus protecting the entire plant from moisture loss. The plant is so well constructed that the soft hairs on the leaves and stems protect it from insects and grazing animals. Both the leaves and flower stems can be picked during the summer. Mullein is a hardy biennial that can grow to six feet in height, but is usually only a foot or so, producing oval to lance-shaped, hairy, grayish-green leaves and spikes of bright yellow flowers. It grows in open, uncultivated land and along roadsides. Native to central and southern Europe and western Asia, mullein can now be found in many temperate zones.
