Mullein is a statuesque biennial whose velvet-soft leaves gather close to the earth before sending a tall candle of golden flowers toward the summer sky. Cooling, moistening, and gently expectorant, the leaf has long been welcomed when the throat and airways feel dry, irritated, tight, or burdened by stubborn mucus that needs help moving. Once known by names such as Clown’s Lungwort, Our Lady’s Flannel, and Candlewick Plant, mullein carries centuries of household tradition as a steady, soothing companion for the respiratory system.
