Mullein Spagyric
Verbascum thapsus
Mullein was used as a healing tobacco by American Indians to treat pulmonary ailments, including asthma. Native Americans also used to grind the seeds as a paralytic solution for catching fish due to the plant’s high levels of rotenone, which causes paralysis, making it easy to catch them.
The Menominees tribe smoked the pulverized dried roots for respiratory complaints. The Mohegans smoked mullein to relieve asthma. Mullein remains an active ingredient in many smoking blends.
During the American Civil War, the Confederate army used mullein to treat respiratory problems. By 1913, mullein had become extremely popular in America as a treatment for coughs and conditions such as inflamed mucous membranes lining the throat. The steam was often inhaled to relieve cold symptoms such as nasal congestion and throat irritations.
Mullein is useful for soothing the skin, reducing pain, calming lung spasms, clearing phlegm, inducing sleep, and treating chronic coughs.
