A powerful herb does not always have to be special, plants such as nettle, chamomile or dandelion are not rare herbs, but they have a lot of healthy properties. A lesser known example is the Mullein. The Mullein is a flowering plant in the figwort family. It is native to Europe, Asia and the Mediterranean and is often found in fields and areas in the United States. Although many people know the characteristic tall plant, there are few people who know what unique properties it has.
What makes Mullein so healthy?
There are many different species of the plant and studies show that almost all of these species contain a high concentration of polyphenols. A powerful antioxidant that protects our cells. The velvety leaf of the Mullein also contains a rich range of powerful substances, such as saponins, flavonoids, phenylethanoid glycosides and iridoids [source].
But the most important substances that occur in Mullein are the different types of mucilage that it contains. These are found in large quantities in Mullein and are therefore responsible for the benefits of Mullein [source].
Benefits of Mullein
The mucilage is important because of the soothing effect it has on our mucous membranes. Although more plants contain these mucilage substances (often not in the quantities as in the Mullein), the power of Mullein lies in the combination of mucilage substances and saponins. The Mullein combines the expectorant effect of its saponins with the calming effect of its mucilage [source]. This makes Mullein the most powerful herb for soothing the respiratory tract. It is even concluded that it can solve respiratory problems [source].
Another unique property of the Mullein is that it is good for our kidney function and urinary tract, among other things [source]. Besides Echinacea, Mullein is the only herb that has this proven function. The herb is said to counteract inflammation of the urinary tract and can solve the irritating effect of acidic urine [source].
Because Mullein has a strong influence on the activity of our body to remove bad pathogens, it also has an important supporting effect on our immune system. For example, the herb helps to combat the following pathogens: escherichia coli, yersinia pestis, pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacillus cereus, listeria monocytogenes and staphylococcus aureus [source].
