Mullein
Traditional use: Mullein, all by itself, has been a steller cough remedy. Among other things, mullein protects, soothes, thins congestion, and helps expel mucus from the lungs. It has antiviral properties, calms lungs, and is a good helper to get worms out of the body. Mullein is mild tasting and therefore makes a nice infusion.
Since most green herbs stay green when dried unless they are old you may be interested to know that green mullein leaves can change color to a yellow as they dry–some do and some don’t. The leaves become brittle when dried, thus they are in pieces instead of whole.
Some people are sensitive to the plant, some are allergic, and the little hairs sometimes irritate.
Mullein is wild harvested. Herb Pocket workers harvest some plants in the wild. We do so ethically and legally. The plants are stored in paper sacks until they are brought home for processing. When we harvest herbs it’s at the right time of day and at the right time of year for most potency. We wash (if necessary) and dry plants as quickly as possible using a fan. Plants dry in a dark room until they are placed in a paper sack or plastic bag for storage. Some plants are frozen at this point. If a tincture is being made from the dried plant, we aim to make it within 6 weeks of harvest. If a tincture is made from the fresh plant, it is made within 48 hours of harvest. All plants and plant medicine are kept in the dark as much as possible during and after processing. Wild crafted herbs are strong medicine. We pour our heart and soul into providing a top quality product because we expect the plants to be very good at supporting normal body function to help our families.
Something exceptional about Herb Pocket is that we try to be as transparent as possible as to what exactly you are purchasing.
As a new company in 2022 we are still learning and so we’d appreciate your patience and feedback. Contact us at herbpocket2@gmail.com
