Are the leaves best used during the plants first year? or does it not matter? I've tried to use mullien flower oil for an earache without success (store bought bottle), can you tell me the best way to have success with it? Thank you so much for everything you do, I've been following you for at least 15 years and am so happy to have found your videos
Yes the leaves are best during it's first yr. They are still good second year till it's head growth. I have personally still grabbed very young leaves (top) for smoothies while in flower. (Have to strain well) Flowers can be collected. Wilt them for a few hours before setting in oil 🤦♀️ I forgot to do that. Hoping it doesn't go rancid. But I also dried some flowers in case it does. For earache oil..olive is sd to be best. I have seen ppl place the jar in a paper bag and leave on window sill for few weeks. Others say warm place but out of light. I dunno it's my first try. These kids today battle with ear infections and earaches so bad. So making for my nephews. I have fibro and chronic bronchitis among other things. I do use as a smoke and have given huge leaves to friends with recent sprains. Thin sock, fabric around inflamed injury then leaves wrapprd around that and held in place. Hope this helps.
@@cjd5255 why do you need a piece of cloth between the skin and the leaf, can it be irritating ? Also, how do you smoke it, just rolled leaf as a cigar or do you cut it and mix it?
Thank you for this. Great info and beautiful video and I've been specifically looking for help with lymph node swelling. I have mullein growing in the backyard of my new home. It must've known I needed it:)
Richo your wisdom is a gift to our relationship with the plants, thank you for sharing these
We have native mullien all over around Western Nebraska. Great information thanks!
I just ordered my seeds but I didn’t realize it had beautiful flowers.Gorgeous!!!!!🌼🌼🌼🌼🐝
Great info, thanks. For lymphatic problems can you also use it as a tea?
By the way, I found you as your page has been recommended by a French herbalist, Christophe Bernard. 😊
