Iv just starting smoking it for my asthma and I can breath 100 times better after then with my inhaler . Iv just ordered it in tea leaf but after your video I’m keen to grow my own. Thank you 🙏🏼
Delighted to hear that your asthma has improved. Did you smoke tobacco? Do you find Mullein to be cool and soothing?
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden no I have never smoked anything at all ever. Mullein is my first smoke, found it warming and my body is adjusting to being able to take such big breaths in now. Muscles ache around chest and back from it too, never been able to take such deep breaths before
Wow, fascinating! Do you just wash, dry, and grind leaves then roll in cigarette?
could you please share how exactly do you smoke this herb?
Do dry out the leaves and then just roll them to smoke it?
Well, there you go. I only knew about using Mullein for ear ache. As ever, I gain so much from your videos. Thank you, Terri.
Yes the flowers. The rest of plant used for inflammatory and swelling. Joints and lungs 😉
Be careful where you get them around roads or farm land can be dangerous also powerlines because they put out poison kill weeds
I love to come to your channel, not only do you teach about herbs but you are very calming. Calming is what is missing in this world. Thank you.
Hey, I can vouch for the back pain treatment. I had made a mullein root tincture years ago, and it was just sitting in the basement unused. I recently had one of the worse episodes of lower back pain and the timing was horrible, because I had a presentation coming up. It dawned on me that I had that tincture and I took about 1.5 tsps in water and the beneficial effect kicked in within a couple of hours. I couldn't believe it. After some time, the pain returned and I took more and noted the same alleviating effect. I took it about twice a day and was good to go for the presentation. Seriously one of those cases where too-good-to-be-true was actually true. I don't think it works for every type of back pain, and I don't know exactly what my issue was at the time. But the pain was well managed with that mullein tincture.
Always wonderful to hear the stories of healing herbs
Such a generous plant and thank you for the fantastic, informative video.
The large Candelabra Mullein plant is gorgeous!
I've heard of using the flowers in honey for a syrup for cough syrup. Layering flowers and honey, putting it in the window for 3 weeks then straining it.
Mullen season upon us in 2023... She pops up on her own and this year I have two maturing "candles". So funny thing is I have back and breathing issues ... worse this year because of the fires in Quebec just to the north of us. A perfect timing with this video Terri, thank you.
Sorry to hear about the fires there and I hope all is calm and well now. xx
I also live near an area that was clear cut. As I was foraging today I found the area thriving with mullein, more than I could ever use. There were also abundant amounts of fire weed, comfrey, nettle, and plantain. Thank you for the videos, you’re one of my favorite plant people anywhere.
Thanks so much Robert. I suppose there is that one benefit to clear cutting and land disturbance xx
Likewise...some oak trees were cut and the sun started to hit the soil. Months later, a lot of mullein grew.
Just what I needed a lovely video to watch in the sunshine 🌺🌻🌺🌻🌼🌸🌺🌻🌺🌸
The garden is GORGEOUS!!! 😍🌿💚🐾
Where as mullein grew everywhere in The Netherlands it does not grow here anymore!
Farmers keep cutting the roadsides so before it can grow or bloom it has been cutted! And the newest thing 'they' now do here in the Netherlands is cutting down all the undergrow in forests! So the you can not find mullein aswell!
And right in front of our face healthy nature in the Netherlands is gone!!
So over two weeks l am leaving for a trip through east and southern Europe and l will look for seeds to bring home in my garden.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤❤
It is so sad to hear about the depletion of Nature in the Netherlands. I think though, with your new Party, things will change.🙏 xx
in my county near the bavarian alps, we also use mullein as an indicator how strogng became the winter.
for this, you have to read the flowerstand at 15. august from down to up. this way symbols the time from november till march.
and the place who have flowers is the time when it snows. best wishes xande
Fascinating!! I love to hear of folklore around plants
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thanks for your answer
to be accurate, this is great mullein... there are different types of mullein, i have them all over my orchard as they are the best for soil building and brewing fertilizer and compost. they have deep tap root that breaks up compacted soil and brings nutrients into itself making it a very rich source. the leaves can be rubbed on the skin to relieve itching, pain, and discomfort. they are great at attracting pollinators and hummingbirds. if left alone, the head sticks out of snow in winter making an excellent bird feeder with its seed pods. it is great at suppressing weeds as its big flat leaves block the sun and rain. this is probably one of the most useful plants that most people kill as weeds. it is a biannual which means the first year it shoots roots and builds infrastructure then on second year the flower stock shoots up.
A bird feeder in the snow???..isnt nature amazing!!!! So much love in plants...just beautiful ❤
I found mullein growing at the edge of my woods. I have had a cough that is hanging on from mucus drainage. I will try it!
It grows wild here in Colorado. The local native American Indians say that the amount of snow we will get is predicted by how tall the mullein grows in the summer.
That is fascinating and I would take note of that. xx
Hiking outside the Moffitt Tunnel in Colorado I came upon this . They were very beautiful and appeared extremely strong how that stand . The gold diggers/ miners in that area needed this medicinal plants bc of lung congestion. I loved finding this natural wild beauty
About 3 years ago I started smoking a personal mix based on mullein to help give up tobacco. It worked AND it rid my lungs of quite a bit of muccus in the process. I coughed daily for a good 6 months. I dont cough anymore and my breathing is fine, but the problem is I'm still occassionally having a smoke of my herbal blend 😂 Technically, I'm still a smoker!
Technically, but the right kind now😂 glad to hear your lungs are all cleared out, that is good news xx
Would you mind sharing your personal mix please? 😊
Wow that one mullein plant was beautiful! The candelabra 👏
OMG what a beauty garden ..i wish having that 💚💚💚
thank you very much for your knowledge. im so glad i found your channel.
You are welcome here Liddia!
Great video with so much information. I had never heard of using the whole plant for back issues. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Suffering from a horrible cough and the sorest of throats I've ever had in my life due to covid :( how beautiful that this video was recommended to me this morning. I like to think that plant wisdom finds us as well as us finding it. Thank you for your knowledge of this wonderful plant, Terri
I think you are right Emily. The plants know when to come and pull our sleeve so to speak. Get well soon.xx
Oh my god that big mullein plant is majestic
I just noticed a Mullein plant in my garden & then this video popped up today! Now I know what to do with it. Thanks & Blessed 🐝❤️ 🌱
Blessings to you ClockworkFaery
My verbascum thrives and luckily as it self sets is easily moved into various garden beds, a wall of mullein, such joy....thank you Terri..
I always enjoy your enthusiasm for Mother Nature.💝🥳🎖
I just knew the two beautiful mullein plants that are growing in my allotment were going to be medicine. Thank you so much
My pleasure 😊 xx
Mulleins grow like crazy in Ireland! We had so many growing wild along the farm lane in Ontario --- too bad we had no idea what to do with them! Perhaps they could have brought relief to the asthma I suffered from hay & grain allergies.
Thank you for letting us know what the different parts of the plant are good for!
I knew about asthma but not ear aches. Thank you 😊 from Arizona USA
You’re welcome 😊 xx
Good morning Terri!🌻
Thank you so much! I was aware of the uses of the leaves but there's so much more!
It's so lush and lovely in your garden! It sure is different from the high dessert where I live.☺️
Don't worry about always responding. When canning season comes, I sometimes don't even answer the phone. We all have our lives.
Blessings! 💜
Thanks for the video dear Terri. ...a birthday present!
Mullen is gorgeous for the lungs!
Big hugs!
Thank you for the lovely video
You are so welcome! xx
Thank you for the information. I was delighted to find one growing by my driveway last week. I intend to harvest its seeds later this year and see that more grow about the place.
I came across a very healthy young mullein just yesterday in a neighbour's yard and was so tempted to ask if I might dig it up and replant her at home. Your video is a sign! 🙂💕
We have hundreds of mulleins growing near and around us. I’ve always loved them.
I use the leaves of Mullein for my lungs. Love the way those tops have curled at the roof.
Do you make a tea
You look beautiful today Terri I love the colour of your dress and cardigan on you 👗 I knitted myself a cardigan it’s very warm. 😊
You lovely Angel Wombyn. Perfect video you've made here. Much gratitude for the way in which you share your wisdom 🤍
Mullein grows along the roadsides here in southern Italy as well. I didn't know what it was, but was always fascinated by it, and since I had none on my land, a few years ago few years ago I saved some from a friend who was plowing his land, and I transplanted them here. Now I have several and love them. Thanks for the tips on using it.
I had heard that about Italy. Some years we have Mullein along our road sides too, enough of them to be noticeable. They are biennial and do self seed easily. xx Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing 🌱💕🌱
Thanking you for this in depth summary about this amazing plant…have a first year growing now excited to see the results next year…stay blessed
That's good. It is perennial so will come back and probably spread.😃
Thank you Terry,good info as always👍
Synchronistically timed, as I just asked my friend what plant was on her deck, she said Our Lady's candle. Wait until I show her this Terri. Excellent!
Love all the useful and interesting info you give us in your beautiful videos!! I also love seeing those sweet little dogs follow you around!!! They are precious! You live in such a wonderful place by the way. I always love looking at it while you’re walking around! ❤️🌻
I just saw a little group under a bridge on my road home. I’ll go and get some. Mother-in-law told me years ago the Indians smoked the leaves. Thank you from Oregon
I remember reading that in National Geographic in the early '80's. Although I don't smoke, I wonder if it would work to smudge with.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time!❤
And to think that the mulleins that popped up in our yard, were my son’s absolutely favorite thing for a while! He did take such good care of that mullein. Neighbors were wondering about the strange tall plant sitting all by its lonesome out in the yard.I just wanted to pull it up out of the yard, and I did. Oh dear, guilty as charged. After all, I have to tell you they are still popping up and I will let some grow as tall as they are able! I have forwarded this video to my son and I am sure we will have yet another conversation about his lovely mullein! ❤️
Glad you and your son can bond over the wonderful Mullein! Glad you have a garden full of them now, maybe someone needs some Mullein care.💚
Mullen in. Norway is called. Kongslys. (The. Kings light). Precious we love to hear about. We love to hear receipts from your garden plants thank you. Kind regards from. Ellen.
Kongslys? Det har jeg faktisk aldri hørt (om) ... lurer på om bare kongelige hadde lov til å bruke den?
I have heard that indigenous people of North America used the soft leaves to line their moccasins to keep their feet warm and dry.
A great idea. xx
Really Love that your Beautiful Dogs are in almost Every Video. Following you everywhere cuz I know they are Very devoted fur babies!!
I have been scanning the countryside for Mullein and I found some today! I was so excited --- on a country lane in a fallow meadow growing here and there. I just took one even though there were many. I'll see if I can get it to grow in my garden. Cheers!
Danu, I just watched your piece on stress releasing herbs. I am very grateful for your program. You and your dogs just cause me to release stress just by watching you. :)
Glad to hear that. xx
Fabulous video. Now I can use all the mullein on my property. Thank you so much for such great videos.
You are very welcome - just make sure, if you make tea, to strain it as it can be fibrous. xx
Thank you 👍👍❤️
Thank you Terri I've been watching not for very long I really enjoy your walks in your garden so beautiful today really hit home I've always been intrigued with Mullien recently I've been watching all that I can find on making medicine with her I'm in the process of making a poultice I have really bad hemorrhoids and a tumor in the same area that I'm going to be using her for ....also you have the most beautiful mullien plants I've ever seen ☺️much love from across the oceans
I love the way you explain herbs. It puts things together in a way that makes it easy to remember. I have been noticing the mullein along the roadsides and in my pasture- time to get some harvested. Thank you!
Thanks for another great wee video Terri. It was really informative. 🌼
Have a sunny week. 🌞🍀
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I live in the U.S. where it grows all over. I'm in the city, but there is a huge, lovely plant that volunteered at the edge of the property near the alley. I believe she is gently calling to me. Although I've used the leaves for lungs and ears for forty years, I Didn't know about other applications. I'm going to go visit her, now.
It’s all so interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
What a fabulous plant. I'd love to see more about the process of making the tincture.
Thank you for videos give so much information
So much information thank you. I've never seen Mullen so tall. We pick outs in the first year for colds and things. I didn't know flowers were good for things.
Lovely video. I just collected Mullein from along a road. Making an infusion and will make one with the flowers and olive oil.
Just be careful you don't use leaves from the plant if it's near a busy road or highway as they can absorb the toxins from the exhaust smoke and oils and chemicals from all the cars. Those plants that are exposed to high-traffic areas are still great for collecting the seeds.
What a wonderful video filled with great knowledge and wisdom 💕🌿! Thank you so much for this. You're my new RUclips mentor 😊🙏.
That is so kind of you. You are very welcome MsSheba- I'm delighted xx
I live in Eastern Colorado on 40 acres and 6-foot tall Mullein plants SURROUND us. I intend to kindly and responsibly harvest quite a bit to start tinctures, teas, etc. I'll be sure to ask the land wights and thank them as well. Oh how I envy your environment. Cute pups too!
I suspect if so much Mullein has appeared he must be needed there. You are so lucky to have 40acres!!
Thank you from Woo in the Willows 🙌
Where I grew up in the southern US we called this 'rabbit tobacco.'
I made Mullein tea for my dad's COPD. It was mildly beneficial but his illness was very advanced and needed constant oxygen. Than you for providing this informative video.
You could try some Elecampane root for your father
Terri, in bushcraft the fresh leaves make excellent toilet paper. Also the dried flower stalk is hard enough to use as a friction drill to make fire, and the char of the stalk will catch and grow a spark from a flint and steel. I've several on my land in Cumbria, but having seen your polytunnel plants, I'm going to sow some in mine to dry later. Many thanks ❤
Thanks for the tips xx
Wholly Lamb's ear is Nature's toilet paper. Do not use Mullein. It won't be pleasant!
I love this, ive been looking in how to find a healthy alternative to smoking and eventually come off it, amazing thank you for the infornation, i love your channel 💕
Thank you Terri ,have a good week
Your love of plants the world and mother earth is joyful good energy all around. Love you too
And love to you Tacy !
Hello, thank you. Your video was very interesting and informative. I am from the Caribbean and will seek out on getting a plant. Your garden is healing and beautiful. Have a great month...
I know a few places to find some! Yay!
Thank you so much! I found some mullen at our l9cal nature reserve, I didn't puck any, but I'm definitely going back to harvest a few leaves, flowers and seeds to grow in my garden. I really want to give up smoking, plus I have so many problems woth my spine. Hopefully nobody has taken it yet! I appreciate all your video's as a student of herbology ❤
Good luck!
I am so grateful for this film, Terri! (Of course, I love all your videos) This beautiful plant unexpectedly started growing in my garden a number of years ago. No one knew its name , but like all the unexpected plants that arrive, I've always just been grateful for it. I had no idea it was such a champion! I just love its silky soft leaves , they feel like rabbits ears!
Wonderful! It is such a treat when a plant just turns up xx
God puts things in our path that he knows are needed ❤
I really enjoy your videos Terri wish there was more. I’ve watched them all now. As a thank you for your knowledge I’m going through all of them and liking them to help your you tube views. I can’t tell you how you have helped me. I’ve definitely found “my path” that feels right for me. I just struggle to retain all the information. So I rewatch your videos to soak more info , everytime I watch them another nugget pops up that I didn’t know before. I’m starting my essential herb garden now and spotting plants a lot easier xxx
Thank you so much. Brilliant to hear you are inspired to make a herb garden. Good luck with it.
Thank you for talking about ways to make mullein medicine. I have one that is growing in my garden and while i knew it had medicinal properties, I wasn't sure how to prepare the medicine. This was immensely helpful. Thank you.
In upstate NY we also call it Indian TP. (as in Toilet paper) It's so soft that it could be used for that in the wild. LOL
Really? I have only heard it called Cowboy Paper! It's funny how these local nick names stick and travel xx
It’s also nature’s medicine for Covid. A win/win during Covid!
@@trock8930what does it do for covid? And how do you use it?
Hairy and too irritating for TP
Thanks for the information.
I found a mullein plant at a local park, but the leaves were all so badly eaten by larvae of some kind.
Btw, I've been making the shampoo recipe you sent & it's working marvelously.
I can't say I've seen this, but now that I know what to look for, I'll be on the lookout. Thank you so much for these lovely and informative videos!
Mullein is one plant I do know how to identify 😊 and I know where there's a wild patch!
This is serendipitous! I have an ear ache! Very interesting.
Thanks for that Terri we were only talking about Mullein last night my allotment is full of it this year, i new you could make tea but didnt now about ear trouble, have a good evening Love to you xxx
So wonderful
One of my many favorite plants
That was wonderful thank you, I always thought they were mystical plants, like they did not belong on this plane of existence, they would grow out of my patio, I had to stop various well meaning people from pulling them out.
Sending many blessings 🙏
I’ve always heard mullein is amazing for making your coughs more productive. I’ve got some growing now.
Mullein is excellent. It is bi-annual so next year will put up her spike. xx
Thanks for sharing this video with us. Its nice that you are also in Ireland. I am living in Mohill, Leitrim. Have not come across Mullein before so enjoyed watching this particularly interested in the fact that you can make the stalks into Ladies Candles.
It’s spring and I bought verbascum seeds. Hoping to scatter throughout the bare spots in my flower beds.
50’s night temperatures mid 60’s daytime.
Well that was great! Thanks for talking about plant signatures. The mullein (Verbascum thapsis) growing here in my yard are just starting to open their flowers. I'm wondering if all the thick forest fire smoke we've had for weeks on end has put a slight damper on a number of plants and how they are performing. Those mullein you have in your polly tunnel are spectacular. Amazing how that very tall one, in your polly tunnel, has grown so majestically. I love how the spike heads have curled and wound around as they reached to top of the greenhouse. Those couple of plants in your yard surely have very large and showy flowers, unlike anything I've ever seen. I too gather mullein leaves for tea. I also gather the flowers to make a medicinal oil with. I'm glad you know that the leaves can be smoked to relieve lung congestion. I first read about that very application about forty years ago from a book I read about the mountain folk that live in the Appalachian mountains in the eastern United States. Those mountain folk, being somewhat segregated from mainstream American life, relied on the old ways and a lot of that ancient folk medicine which so many people have forgotten. I had never heard or read about using mullein roots. Thanks for enlightening me with that valuable information. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and your interesting video. Cheers!
So glad you enjoyed it. I know of Appalachian herbal medicine through Phylis D. Light. Have you heard of her?
Excellent timing! Mine just came up this year and I was wondering what to do with it. Thank you 😊 they grow like weeds here
Very useful video, and you explain it well, trying to help a long time smoker,, and with today's air, everyone needs to have clean lungs, or medicated lungs,, probably ward off the covid virus as well too..
Yes we all need strong healthy lungs and Mullein is just so helpful xx
Thank you for sharing this 💜...have made the leaf tincture, will make the oil.
I have noticed this plant popping up in my field this year in a couple spots and was bewildered by it at first lol. I'm excited it can be so useful!
I live in the US, Alabama actually. I have noticed Mullein everywhere this year. I wonder if it is an indication of a bad cold and flu season moving in. Great video, and thank you for sharing.
Absolutely, it is a message from the Mother trying to help you through the plant people.
A particularly hot year past for us, already in spring he made many clovers bloom in the fields with white and pink flowers (the small and sweet ones that rabbits are so fond of and whose taste is very reminiscent of honey) and of alpha-alpha grass that we we asked how it was possible since they were hill pastures near villages that had been abandoned for decades.
Well that year was particularly hot and sultry and those herbs were useful for the immune system, because in order to resist that type of climate, people threw themselves on air conditioners and dehumidifiers, with the result that the thermal changes stressed the physical bodies up to cause real discomfort, such as congestion, air blows, etc.
So always keep an eye on the natural world, nature always speaks to us and prepares us for what is to come.
Ive never seen a mullein that size!! wow its spectacular
Great info ..thank you … I planted mullein last year…sadly some little scoundrels 🤨 thought they needed the little plants more than me 😏… plan to try again next year 😊
Thank you so much for this video!! Lovely as always. 💛
You may have a hiatal hernia. It's where the stomach gets pushed up slightly into the esophagus through the diaphragm. It's not serious and happens easily. (My kitty causes it when she makes biscuits under my ribcage.) But it will irritate the stomach, esophagus, and diaphragm.
You can cure it yourself if that's what's wrong.
Place a fist just below your sternum. Breathe in deeply applying a little pressure inward and downward with your fist. As you breathe out apply a little more pressure inward and downward with your fist. Repeat about 3 times going a little deeper each time. On the 3rd time move your fist, still inward and downward, but also along the bottom edge of your left ribcage. You can repeat the whole series a few times if you need.
This should gently pull your stomach back to it's proper place. It actually feels pretty good and should give you relief right away.
I hope this helps! 🤗
Off to finish watching your lovely video now. Which is just what I need, by the way. Thank you for the lovely video! 💖🤗🙏✨🌀
I suspected that. Thanks so much for the tip! xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden You're welcome! I know it doesn't feel very good. But fortunately it's easy to fix! 🤗
There are good videos on RUclips for it if you want to watch it done. They pretty much say to do what I said, though, only they use a ball instead of their fist. My fist worked just fine, though. 💖
