Mullein is a plant that has been used in traditional healing for thousands of years. It is a common lung remedy that is said to help with bronchitis and asthma. It has powerful lung treating properties that can be attributed to its expectorant and demulcent qualities. This means that it helps to break down mucus and reduce inflammation. It also assists with soothing the lungs and bronchial tubes. Mullein is a great option for people who want to quit smoking tobacco, as it can help detox the lungs and reverse some of the damage that has been done over time.
Besides helping with respiratory problems, mullein is also known for its anti-inflammatory and sedative qualities. It is a very gentle herb that will not get you high like cannabis and can be used with other herbs in a herbal smoke blend to provide a relaxing experience. It can also be used to help with insomnia, as it has a calming effect that can lead to better sleep.
Smoking mullein leaf is easy, and you can use it alone or with other herbs. Just make sure that you spray the mullein leaves with water before you start smoking them. You want them to be moist, but not soaked. It is important to do this because dry mullein is not a good smoke. Once the mullein leaves are moist, you can begin to create your herbal smoking blend. If you want to add some flavor, try mixing it with other herbs like chamomile, peppermint or lavender.
