Thanks 🙏🏻 Great advise to harvest a plant that grows so well and so effortlessly. My only problem is that roadside harvest is never a good idea due to endless contamination. It grows fabulous in our chicken yard. We have dozens of large healthy plants 🌱 every year.
I learned of this plant. I really liked the look of the plant and am aware of the uses it is great for so I planted it in my garden. Now I have all the clean, healthy and large plants growing among my beds free of road dirt, dust and other contaminants. They grow very easy and get very large and abundant. I use it in my smudge when cleansing my home and it is healthy to just inhale for good results.
@@carolineouellet7845 I have found them in the flower shops in the wildflower section. They are also in the medicinal plant section. Once you have one, you will never run out, they reseed very readily. They are a great plant, good structural interest with great colour and a tall spear growing from the centre of the plant varying in height. In my garden they grow 5-6 feet tall in full sun. The seeds along the flower stalk are good and clean, plant themselves every year even in the neighbouring gardens.
I’ve been wondering what this plant was for 35 years. We used it for toilet paper while camping and I assumed Native Americans used it for that same purpose. Finally got my answer.
I’m learning more all the time. I’ve recently learned that the tall center stalks can be used as a spindle for hand drill fire making and even bow drill spindles in a pinch.
Thank you for sharing! I've been learning about how to use our wild plants for various things. I've noticed this particular plant growing everywhere and thought to myself 'I wonder if that fuzzy little plant is good for us?' And today I have my answer!!! Thank you 😊❤️😇
I have heard it referred to as rabbit tobacco!! I want to cakl it Mu long u sound and lein with long sound but I have learned better I guess. I have 10+ growing here this year. I collected flowers and made earache oil. Now that it is drying up I have collected roots plus the tall stalk to collect the seeds. I just made a tincture with the leaves this past weekend!
"Mountain man money". Yes, I get what you can't say! Thanks for the video. I am growing a mullein plant now. They do not grow wild here in Australia where I live but I managed to procure one plant which is small but growing very well in our heat at the moment. It is mid-Spring here now and we live in the sub-tropics. I enjoyed watching your video and I thought it was well done! Blessings to you, sir, from Queensland, Australia.
@@clintonminer7636 You will love it, Clinton. The people are great and we love visitors. You would be very welcome. We speak funny, though, but you'll get used to it. Lol!
Thank you for sharing this informative video. God bless you. Psalm 24 KJV 1. The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory?

Can you boil it down and not lose any of its medicinal properties, the reason I ask is I am a recovering alcoholic with eight years clean and honestly do not want alcohol in my body just the thought of consuming some makes my stomach ill and thank you for this information it is GREATLY appreciated!!!
Yes, you can use an infusion. I would study about its use in decoctions. You can also study to Make tincture from Apple cider vinegar. Congratulations on chosing you over the spirits! It takes a few years, I found, to really shake them. Every sunrise is a new day. Blessings.
You can use the flowers or leaves to make tea for the same benefits without the tincture. Make sure you filter your tea through a coffee filter, I find the leaves a bit irritating to the throat if you don’t filter the tea through a coffee filter. Leaves are great to smudge or smoking and the flowers make the best tea with some honey.
Hi. Can you tell me about the seeds. When is the best time to get the ripe seeds for growing in my yard. I found some at the entrance to my subdivision but they aren't nearly as healthy looking as the ones I found in my local park. Also, how often do I need to collect the flowers?? I can't go to the park daily.
Hi Christine. I personally have been learning of mullein and it's uses since last year and maybe a but longer. I found it growing in my yard and decided to look it up. This year about 15 or so plants came up! The first year it is rosette shaped that grows near the ground. The second year it sends up the long stalk that will flower. We had about 7 to ten that flowered. I would go out and pinch the flowers off as they matured and I made the olive oil and mullein flower oil for earaches. Now it is September and the leaves and tall stalk has started drying up. The tall stalk where the flowers were is now where the seeds are. Because it us on my property I cut just below the flowering stalk, took a large bowl then turned the stalk upside down and gently tapped the stalk and the seeds began falling into the bowl. They are very very tiny seeds. I also pulled up whole stalks forvthe root.
@@thevictorianedge5465 Very good information. I put the leaves to my nose and breath deeply and it totally opens my lungs better than an inhaler and No shaking! I am trying to find seeds so I can grow my own. I live in Arkansas so it should grow easy :)
Suggestion : How about next time, when identifying in the wild.....get in with the camera and film close up to really get a view of the plant / leaves. Rather than standing back several feet from it.
I'm definitely not going to be using them for toilet paper because I'm allergic to everything outdoors LOL but major question do you harvest the leaves before they bloom
I have learned when making tinctures the liquor needs to be at least 80 proof. So ifvthe moon shine is at least 80 proof I would say yes. I just made a tincture using Tito's 80 proof vodka
My comment section has not been working does anyone know why? It let me click on this video maybe this will work give me a thumbs up to let me know please thank you anyone
it seems , everytime i watch a video like this , dosage is alway shide away from ! what is the unusual shiness about telling peopl how much or how little on e should use IN dropppers for tincture's how many per LBS weight of a person? it can,t be that hard can it?
I am learning myself but I believe the common answer for this is start small with 1 teaspoon and see if that works otherwise increase in small increments. Keep notes with dosage amounts and times and side notes on illness, your weight etc and any benefits noticed!
@@thevictorianedge5465 i have , in the mean time, now a good amount of mulein flower tincture.I suffer no sickness or ailments at this time ,so it will be a while before i get to "practice" this on myself, as i understand alcohol tincture's can last up to a year or more, as oil based tincture's go ransid quite quickly after it's exposure to air. But thank you this sound ,logical .
@@andreavandekleut6379 I would start with drops, a whole teaspoon seems a bit much. Try a drop at first just a little, to find out if you have any allergic reactions. Then increase gradually. In my opiniin.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 thanks Heidi, i thought as much i did not go for a teaspoon, i will use a dropper starting with 0.5 ml's , then see how i do LOL. hopefully not drunk ( as I used ever clear to make my tincture)LOL.
you should also strain you tincture and tea as the hairs can irritate your lungs, through coffee filter or cheese cloth
I'm curious... how would a tea or tincture irritate the lungs unless you're inhaling it, in which case you'd at least choke on the liquid. 🤔
Mullein has very fine hairs. I strained once using a regular strainer and it irritated my throat. I always use a coffee filter to strain.

Thank you for sharing. 😎
Thank you for the information it was very informative, ok so once you’ve made the tincture and it’s done. How do you use it? I know, dumb question.
With a twist of lime and on the rocks!!!😉😁😊 Shaken and not stirred
I guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released series online ?
You can take it in droplets as needed
take a few drops daily as needed i guess. disclaimer i aint a doctor but it works well

thank you
Why not? Sounds good. I’m not sure about oil in tea but if it sounds good to you, I can’t see why you couldn’t.
I have a Half gallon of dried flowers…. Could I used just flowers?
I believe that would work well
How long does the tincture last?
How much in a dose and for what specifically
No one tells u how to use the tincture after u make it
If one doesn't know, one shouldn't be consuming plant tinctures. 😉
We're here to learn. I would like to know too.
Can I make and drink this tea, if I still smoke?
I know of no reason why it would be a problem

Shouldn't we wash the leaves?
Will this work during the summer time? We are in August now. But Im am just learning about this and want to make it.

Dig them up and take them home then you wouldn't have to keep on going back to the same roadside stuff and then the roadside chemicals and all that
Love cowboy toilet paper.
Nobody should ever consume anything from around a road. They have heavy metal contaminants.
Ya smoke rabbit tobacco...
You can. There are also other benefits other than smoking too!! I just made an earache oil from the flowers when it was in bloom.
Awesome furniture there bud!
Appreciate the knowledge, but your decor just jumps out at me...
