Mullein leaves are one of the safest and most useful herbal lung tonics. The leaves act as an expectorant and soothe the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Mullein is also a useful lymphatic cleanser and is used for skin problems like psoriasis. The herb is used to ease the symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, dry coughs, and laryngitis. An oil made from mullein flowers is used for earaches.
