How to Prepare as Herbal Tea
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried mullein leaf to hot water and steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
Strain through a fine tea filter, cloth or muslin before drinking, as mullein leaf naturally contains tiny hairs.
Other Traditional Uses
Mullein has a long history of use in traditional herbal preparations, including infusions, bath blends, facial steams, infused oils and ceremonial herbal practices.
Facial Steam: Add a small amount of mullein leaf to a heatproof bowl and pour over hot water. Allow the water to cool slightly, keep your face a comfortable distance from the bowl and enjoy the warm botanical steam. Avoid direct contact with hot water.
Infused Oil: The dried leaf may be infused into a suitable carrier oil and carefully strained before use in balms or body oils.
Traditional Herbal Rituals: Dried mullein has also been included in ceremonial herbal practices where botanicals are gently burned. Always use a fire-safe vessel in a well-ventilated area, never leave burning herbs unattended and avoid direct smoke inhalation.
