"Nature's Mucinex" is what Mullein is often referred to due to its beneficial compounds that help with respiratory conditions.
Verbascum thapsus (mullein) is an herb that has a towering flower stalk. Growing over 7 feet tall, it is easily seen in fields and pastures. It was brought to America from Europe over 200 years ago for its use for pulmonary and respiratory conditions. The Native Americans smoked the dried leaves in ceremonial and medicinal ways.
