Mullein is one of my faves! She is so mildly powerful for respiratory dis-eases (Spring leaf tincture), while her flowers make a wonderfully effective ear oil ('swimmer's ear', anyone?). Anyway, she is well worth the time to get to know...and, to purposefully grow. Thank you for sharing, & inspiring others to do just that! :)

I discovered Mullein 6 years ago. My 87 year old dad was dignosed with COPD. Doctor put him on all kinds of pumps, and cortisone pumps, lost his voice. My local homeopath said to use Mullein with Marshmallow extract ( yes its a plant!), got rid of the COPD in 1 month, then took Vibrunun Lantana and got rid of the Ventolin pump... dad is now 93 years old and breathing has never been better.

you didn't mention some of the most important uses of the great mullein (there are other types of mullein, this video is about the great mullein, Verbascum thapsus). the leaves crushed and rubbed on skin alleviate itching and topical discomfort. also as they are a very deep rooted plant with a very deep taproot that is developed on the first year, which is why above ground it stays small, it is one of the best soil builders known to man. if you have compacted ground you would like to cultivate, spread seeds all over it and allow a couple of years of great mullein activity, then mow it in place and mulch the soil with the clippings in place. you now have a hugely improved soil. i have great mullein all over my orchard. you can also harvest leaves into compost tea vats to make compost for your garden. i do not buy fertilizers any more because of this wonderful plant.

So some uses very similar to Comfrey? Thats what I have been composting with, and dandelions. I am going to learn more about this plant! For medicinal uses but also for that awful soil I just cant seem to break or build up, and not much will grow. The mullein I have seen here in Ohio are purple, but other wise look the same. Mullein can be easily distinguishes from lambs ear, because it grows in a basal rosette, and lambs ears sends off runners, Mullein doesnt. Quite easy once you see the two, and identify them.

@@primesspct2 yes... it is actually better than comfrey for my area mountain NW USA. the dryer your area, the better great mullein is for that. there are many varieties of mullein. i have moth mullein as well. i am pretty sure you have great mullein in ohio... in fact it is pretty much everywhere. they often are taller than i am by late august (im 6' tall) and they are easiest to identify then as nothing else looks even remotely like them and if you find one that has spent flowers (flowers move up the growth all summer and the lower parts turn to seed) you can collect tons of seeds. i would do that very late august or in September or even later if you can. the best time is when all the flowers are gone and then you can just take the whole cane, hang it in an unheated barn, garage, or outbuilding so it can stratify then spread the seeds all over at the end of winter. mature seed pods just come off in your hands with little force. seeds germinate early spring and build their roots... on the 2nd year they will shoot up the flower stock and the cycle repeats. the plant is very rich in bio active minerals and nutrients... it will revolutionize your gardening.

Several years ago, there were ponds with bellied up fish, and rumors of an apocalyptic disease debut. Turns out, it was some of those stupid people you speak of, killing hundreds of freshwater fish, just because they could. Really wished you didn't discuss that property of Mullien, because there is an endless supply of stupid people willing to try it out for themselves. You forgot to mention the seeds are a hallucinogen so hopefully now stupid people can focus on becoming their own source of entertainment, and leave the poor fish alone!

Now, be forewarned, you absolutely cannot flush a corn cob, but it can be very effective in removing most of the new and some of the old. This all makes for a very good riddle?

Mullein is so easy to grow because it doesn't need fertilizing - it loves disturbed dirt, wastelands where little else will grow, like along the steep sides of dirt roads. It isn't picky about soil and is drought tolerant even in high desert Taos, NM. It has other medicinal uses too, besides respiratory support. Hadn't considered it for toilet paper, though. I'd certainly apologize to the plant each time before ripping leaves off it just to wipe my tookus. They're reasonably sentient. Beautiful plant in bloom, too, yellow flowers along at least a foot or two of stalk at the top (when they get full size).

How nice to find a fellow mullein enthusiast! I live in NW PA and have loved this plant my entire adult life. No one here seems to see it or care about it. I've been an organic gardener since 1978 when I bought my first Rodale Press gardening book, and also my first of many field guides to wild edibles. I have never propagated mullein but I let it grow in my garden wherever it wants! For the most part. I have roving patches of mullein, poppies, dill, a patch of wild strawberries, and wild greens in my garden. I will start propagating it on our 11 acres, just because. Thanks and cheers!

I like making an expectorant tincture from this plant. Also give it to pets as a tea when needed.

Great information. I didn't know that the seeds needed light to germinate. I've been drying the leaves for tea for a couple years. Since it's "hairy," I strain the tea with a tea towel before drinking, so that the fibers don't irritate our throats.

This was an eye opener! I have these growing all over my property! I've never really given them much thought, other than the fact that my eldest daughter, when she was around 2, was scared of them! She's now 37 and has overcome that fear, lol! My property is at a higher elevation, considered a zone 2, and we seem to have no problem with them growing and multiplying here.

Coming from a channel who is trying to get off the ground, I admire the layout of this video (and the content of course!). I can tell you've done lots of research and put lots of effort into this video, I'm a big fan of this channel now! Have you heard of Rob Greenfield? He's doing a few videos on a plant called Blue Spur flower which is like Mullein but it grows in much warmer climates, both can be used as toilet paper

My grandmas garden has short mullein plants also. They go into flower earlier than around the yard. I figure it's the plant trying to drop seeds as close to possible in favorable conditions. While the stalks in the bone dry soil next to the barn, get extremely tall which I assume is to disperse much further away from the unfavorable area.

@@shineurlightvery similar to tobacco. Dry the leaves, break into small pieces. Place in pipe or roll up herbal cigarette with the small Mullein pieces. Can be mixed with other herbs, mint/chamomile/tobacco/hemp etc Smoking Mullein will make you cough, often a productive, mucousy cough

After my father in law passed. I spent the last 4 years educating myself . As a Master Builder , he built his wife and daughters a mansion. And he left a tool for every type of job needed to maintain the estate. Hence my duty to take the Baton. For years ive had problems ( the usual , woman , booze , bikes , gym , guns , illegal deals, cocaine ..all at once mind you ..haha) because of an ADHD condition. Instead of going down that pharma route. All I had to do was pick up a tool. And become productive . Best idea yet. Instead of firing rounds over the weekend . Im swinging axes and rakes. I guess my lifespan will now be increased. Learning from you guys definitely rounds off a day .

❤ love your channel 1st video I saw was this one and I’m so happy to hear and see and learn about Mullen. Headed on my property last year group about 7 feet tall up here at the top of Michigan close to Canada. Couldn’t believe how tall is Gru, especially with our short season. Cowboy toilet paper, Absolutely funny but makes sense. Thank you for letting us know. It’s a biannual, and it also needs to be grown on the top of the soil to let the sun do it’s job. What an interesting plant. Never knew so much about it. And we’ve got tons of them up here on our trails through the woods. Thank you, from a Michigan Mom.

I love the info. I’m not so educated on the diff uses for diff plants, in which are probably mowed down otherwise. I feel God put everything here for a reason & more is cut/destroyed for the sake of “beauty” than we can imagine. We need to learn this is not organic for people to be killing “weeds” as we’re keeping up w/trends or told they’re just weeds- this is intentional by the powers that be- or think they need to go so they can have a nicer yard than their neighbors- more should be now worried about being more healthy. I’m learning new things about “weeds”- like the dandelion plant is good for our hearts- yet the same company that owns the heart meds also owns a weed-killer company. No coincidences there.

I'm a scuba diver & in some places like Thailand its not uncommon to come down with an earache & fast, super painful & that's the end to your dive. I started traveling with Wally's Ear Oil. Buy now make my own. Babies, pets everyone can use it. Does no harm only good. Pick the fresh tiny yellow Mullein flowers leaving some for the bees & plant on each one picking no more thanb 1/3 of them. At home in a sterilied jar or bottle drop the mullein flowers a few cloves of fresh garlic you've scored to get the medicine out of it & into the oil, olive oil is the best for this. stand in a dark cool place 4-6 weeks then decant into an amber dropper bottle for use. Refridgerate to extend its potency & life. Back in the day in Jolly old freezing wet England the peasanst would line the soles of their shoes to stay warm in winter with them or if the sole was worn through they would line it with mullein leaves to get them by. In Mexico it is the geranium leaf they refer to as the toilet paper plant. Just as soft, not quite as fuzzy.
