Mullein | Bulk Herb | Respiratory & Lung Comfort

HOW TO USE

Soft, velvety, and deeply soothing, organic mullein leaf is a caffeine-free, loose leaf bulk herb made for your daily ritual. 2oz brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose leaf herbal tea.

Steep one to two teaspoons in 8oz of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Important: always strain mullein tea through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth before drinking, since the tiny hairs on mullein leaves can irritate the throat if not properly strained. Sweeten with honey for added soothing. Pairs beautifully with thyme, ginger, or licorice root for a full respiratory comfort blend.

Organic mullein leaf is one of the most respected respiratory herbs in the Western herbal tradition, with documented use spanning over 2,000 years across many cultures. Used for generations as a daily airway comfort herb, mullein has become a go-to choice for anyone seeking gentle, plant-based respiratory support. Herbalist-sourced by Kendra, founder and herbalist of The Herbal Scoop, our bulk mullein leaf is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and sold in small batches from our herbal tea shop in Narrowsburg, NY so you always get the freshest, most potent mullein available.

ABOUT THIS HERB

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus): dried cut leaf of the mullein plant, rich in saponins, mucilage, and glycosides traditionally associated with its expectorant and soothing properties. Mullein is traditionally understood to help loosen mucus while soothing irritated respiratory tissue, and herbalists have used it for generations to ease the muscle tension associated with persistent coughing.

Note: Always strain mullein tea through a fine mesh or cloth before drinking, the tiny leaf hairs can be irritating if consumed directly. If you have an ongoing respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD, consult your healthcare provider before adding mullein to your routine.

Our bulk mullein leaf is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and packed to order in small batches in Narrowsburg, NY to ensure maximum freshness and potency. Available in 2oz, 4oz, and 8oz so you can order exactly what your ritual requires.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I need to strain mullein tea?
Mullein leaves are covered in tiny fine hairs that can be irritating to the throat if swallowed directly. Straining through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or a coffee filter removes these hairs while leaving the beneficial compounds in your tea. This is a simple but important step, never skip it.

Is mullein good for a cough?
Mullein has a long history of traditional use for soothing an occasional, lingering cough. Herbalists describe its mucilage content as coating and calming irritated airway tissue. If your cough is severe, persistent, or accompanied by fever, see a healthcare provider, since mullein tea is a comfort habit, not a substitute for professional healthcare evaluation.

Can I smoke mullein for respiratory support?
Some traditional practices include dried mullein leaf in herbal smoking blends, but smoking anything can irritate the lungs. If you experience weakness in the lungs we recommend tea preparation instead, which delivers mullein's traditional benefits without the risks associated with inhaling smoke.

Is mullein safe for children?
Mullein tea has traditionally been used in small amounts for children's occasional respiratory comfort, but every child is different. Always consult your child's pediatrician before giving any herb to an infant or young child.

Does mullein support lung health long term?
Mullein has traditionally been used as a daily proactive herb for lung wellness, not just during acute congestion. Many people incorporate a cup into their routine during seasonal transitions as a preventive habit. If you are managing a lung condition, talk with your healthcare provider about how an herb like mullein might fit into your overall care.
