Native to the cooltemperate climates of Europe and Asia, Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is atall, yellow-flowered plant often seen today growing wild in Britainand North America. Mullein is also known as Lady's Foxglove, VelvetPlant, Shepherd's Herb and Old Man's Flannel. It has an interestinghistory of practical and cosmetic use.
Anciently, fresh Mulleinstalks were dipped in melted fat, ignited, and carried as flamingtapers in ceremonial processions. The large, soft, hair-covered leaveswere used as diapers by some early Indians and the leaves were alsostuffed in shoes to keep thinly shod feet warm in the winter. Today,Mullein can be used as a floral rinse to brighten blonde hair. Mulleinis usually made into a tea either by itself or with Sage, Marjoram, orChamomile. It is enjoyed by many boiled in milk and sweetened withhoney.
