Mullein
Updated Mar. 21st, 2024
Mullein is an herb that affects several body systems including the respiratory and genitourinary tracts. Its mechanism of action has not been well studied, but this herb is backed by many years of traditional use.
Think of mullein when something is irritated whether it be the throat, lungs, ear, bladder or mind. In the respiratory tract mullein is used for dry hoarse coughs, which annoy the sufferer and become worse upon lying down.
This is usually seen as a lingering symptom of a cold or flu, or as a symptom of a chronic condition like asthma and emphysema. In the urinary tract mullein coats and soothes irritated tissue to relieve pain, frequency, and urgency that is associated with urinary tract infections. It is also helpful for insomnia that is due to pain or irritation in the body.
Mullein can be purchased as a raw herb, in capsules, tincture or liquid extract. It can be found in cold and cough formulas, sedative formulas or urinary tract formulas.
Mullein is generally a safe herb to use. However, people with compromised kidney function or those who use diuretics should always consult with a health professional before using herbs that affect the renal system.
