It used to only grow in Europe and Western Asia, but now it also grows in the US and Canada. New Zealand also hosts it. It does well in a wide range of places, such as fields, chaparral, woods with leaves that fall off, and forests with evergreen trees. It can grow in gravel pits or on roadsides because it thrives in hard soil. It is an annual plant, which means it lives for two growing seasons. In its first year, it makes a number of fuzzy leaves. The second year, the top of the plant gets a tall stalk with small yellow flowers on it. Mullein flowers, leaves, and roots are used in herbal medicine for a few different things, but more research may be needed to show their safety and effectiveness from a scientific perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use dried mullein?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour 1 cup of water over 1-2 tablespoons of dehydrated mullein blossoms or foliage. Steep for ten to fifteen minutes prior to consuming. You can drink the tea three to four times a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDried Mullein Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMullein treats cough, whooping cough, tuberculosis, bronchitis, hoarseness, pneumonia, earaches, colds, chills, flu, swine flu, fever, allergies, tonsils, and sore throats. It also treats conditions such as asthma, diarrhea, colic, stomach bleeds, headaches, joint pain, and gout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eRespiratory Health:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mullein leaves and flowers contain high levels of saponins, which are believed to contribute to the herb's effectiveness for lung health. Saponins are demulcent, expectorant, and bitter. They also have mucilage, which coats and soothes mucus membranes that have been inflamed. Their expectorant properties help get rid of congestion in the lungs. Research shows that mullein is a mix of demulcents and expectorants that contain saponin. This property makes it useful for treating bronchitis with a chronic cough, dry hacking coughs, whooping coughs, colds, flu, and sinusitis. The saponins in mullein have antiviral qualities, which makes it even more useful for treating the flu and other illnesses caused by viruses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cb\u003eAnti-Inflammatory:\u003c\/b\u003e Mullein has a substance called verbascoside, which is both anti-inflammatory and a painkiller. Verbascoside has been shown to reduce inflammation and is especially good at easing joint and muscle pain. Clinical studies have demonstrated that verbascoside can prevent the production of oxygen-free radicals, a well-known cause of inflammation. Mullein particularly lowers the development of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and extracellular O₂. This process reduces the production of superoxide radicals, a significant byproduct of oxidative stress-induced inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cb\u003eAntibacterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers at Clemson University in South Carolina found that mullein is effective against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli. This property makes it suitable for cleaning cuts, soothing burns, and treating hemorrhoids. Even though pneumonia is a dangerous illness that should always be handled by a doctor, using mullein during a respiratory flu can help keep the lungs clear and may stop it from starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eDigestive Health:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mullein's ability to break up mucus isn't limited to getting rid of mucus in the lungs. Mullein can also eliminate the mucous layer in the small intestine. When there is too much mucus in the small intestine, it can make it hard for the body to absorb nutrients and get them into the bloodstream. Mullein gets rid of the \"bad\" mucus and replaces it with a healing mucilage that coats and soothes the gut wall and makes it easier and smoother to go to the bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I buy dried mullein? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy dried mullein from the health food store in the \u003ca title=\"Alive Herbals - The best online herbal store in the USA\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"The best online health food store in the USA - Alive Herbals\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aliveherbals.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlive Herbals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDried Mullein Information (at a Glance):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eDried Mullein.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eVerbascum thapsus.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eIt is native to Europe, northern Africa, and Asia, it was introduced to the Americas and Australia.  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eIngredient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eDried Mullein.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eTaste \u0026amp; Aroma\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eMany people say that mullein tea tastes sweet.
