RE: Drying the Mullein Harvest - Wildcrafting Mullein for Lung Health
This is fascinating to me. As an asthmatic, mullein has always been on my radar, but I've never grown it or really looked into it - I must do.
Have you seen the launch of @naturalmedicine? I think a good post on mullein would be really valued there (I'd know, as I'm part of the team) and we'd love to share and celebrate something of that ilk.
it's a shame @medicinewheel isn't still posting - would love to recycle that post under the @naturalmedicine banner and get some extra rewards for them. As they're not, it would be really cool if you did a new mullein one!
Hi @riverflows. I am also asthmatic and hence why I am very interested in mullein. I wildcraft the plant, don't weed it out of the garden. But I will be cultivating it in the future as well as selling mullein seeds in the near future.
The mullein infusion drinking is along term investment for lung health. I do also smoke the first year mullein leaves for short term relief. It is not as effective as an inhaler but a decent expectorant and safer.
I am also looking into getting some osha root tincture for when I have the worst cases of asthma, it's supposed to be a good relief/antihistamine.
Thanks for the inspiration to make a more detailed post on mullein. I would love to do that at some point in the near future :) I will be back out to the mullein patches soon to harvest seed and that would be a good time. Thanks for turning me onto @medicinewheel also, I will post on other herbs from time to time and it's nice to know that you are providing this amazing curation feed! I'd like to support your efforts
Amazing. I think a detailed post on your personal approach to asthma and the herbs that help and and their benefits would be a great #naturalmedicine post and I would love to read it ! 💚
Wonderful suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for a future post :)
