Dried Mullein Leaves – Gentle Respiratory Support for Lungs, Coughs & Inflammation

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a soft, woolly plant traditionally used to support the lungs and soothe dry, irritated coughs. This gentle yet effective herb is known for its demulcent and expectorant properties—helping to moisten, calm, and clear the respiratory tract.

Our dried mullein leaves are hand-harvested and naturally air-dried to preserve their velvety texture and healing properties. Ideal for herbal teas, steams, or soothing respiratory blends, mullein is a must-have for your seasonal apothecary.

Key Benefits:
– Soothes irritated lungs and dry, tickly coughs
