The ancient Greek herbal physician Dioscorides first prescribed Mullein practicing medicine in the 1st century in Rome as a treatment for lung conditions. It was commonly smoked by the Navahos, who referred to the herb as “big tobacco.”

This gentle herb is central to European and North American folk medicine, known to be an effective apotropaic (a banisher of evil spirits). It carries a variety of magical qualities — it is thought to instill courage and health, provide protection, increase virility and fertility. 

Soft like the skin of a newborn, Mullein is an incredibly healing herb. Tiny hairs on fresh Mullein will actually get into your skin and help you regrow tissue. This herb is commonly grown to repair damaged soil as its roots return nutrients to the earth.

…by itself.

Mullein is a pleasant smoke by itself because it is gentle and soothing to the lungs. It won’t get you high like Cannabis, but the effects are mellow and relaxing, smooth smoking and meditatively calming. It can restore energy while easing stress and tension.
