Mullein Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus), the great or common mullein, is a tall biennial of the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae, native to Europe, North Africa and Asia and naturalized across North America on dry, disturbed ground. In its first year it forms a rosette of large, thick, grey-green leaves covered in soft, felted down; in the second it sends up a stout, woolly spike to 2 m densely set with small yellow five-petaled flowers that open a few at a time. The dried leaves are velvety and the flowers sweet-scented and mild. We extract the dried flower and the dried leaf separately.
