The Greeks and Romans in particular used the plant extensively (<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ben/npj/2019/00000009/00000003/art00003" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">source</a></span>). The mullein is also called torch and in English mullein. It is a flowering plant from the figwort family. The plant grows in stages of two years. The first year it stays close to the ground, with large leaves that grow in a tight rosette pattern. The second year the plant sends up a long spike with yellow flowers in most species. The mullein grows up to 2 meters high. The plant is native to Europe, Asia and the Mediterranean and is now commonly found in fields and areas in the United States.</p> <p>In Western herbal medicine, mullein is one of the most important herbs. But how come? There are many different subspecies of this plant and scientific studies show that almost all of these species contain a high concentration of polyphenols. It also contains a rich range of other powerful ingredients, such as saponins, flavonoids, phenylethanoid glycosides and iridoids (<u><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3350428/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">source</a></span></u>). But the most important active substances found in mullein are different types of mucilage. It is partly because of these mucilage substances that mullein is used in Western herbal medicine to support the immune system and to soothe the airways*.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">The Importance of Respiratory Health</span></h4> <p>The respiratory system is vital to our overall health.
