Organic Mullein Leaf
Fights Respiratory Infection
Drinking mullein tea can help people who are suffering from the effects of a respiratory disorder. The antioxidants and polyphenol compounds found in mullein help soothe a sore throat, and reduce coughing symptoms in patients dealing with influenza or bronchitis infection.
The anti-bacterial properties of mullein tea provide an inhospitable environment for the breeding of bacteria, helping you get over the effects of the infection faster, by strengthening your immune system.
Mullein features potent anti-inflammatory properties that go to work in relieving the symptoms of pain and discomfort associated with fever, swelling, and skin irritation caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Mullein also acts as an expectorant, helping the lungs cough up any bacteria or mucus that’s clogging airways and causing inflammation. The tea also provides an anti-congestive effect, loosening the mucus in the sinus, allowing the patient to breathe comfortably. Patients with sore throats dues to bacterial or viral infection can try gargling with mullein tea to relieve pain symptoms.
Help fight Sleep Disorders
More than 30-million Americans live with some sleeping disorder. People who experience sleep deprivation start to notice their health decline rapidly. When we sleep, our brain clears neural pathways of toxins accumulated during the day. When we fail to get the sleep we need to induce the REM state that provides this function, we end up feeling tired and groggy the following day.
Drinking mullein tea helps induce sleep. The polyphenol antioxidants found in the plants act as a natural sedative that allows you to drift off into dreamland. Drink a cup of the tea 45-minutes before bed to allow for the effects of the mullein to enter your bloodstream and induce sleep.
Improve Digestion
People with gastrointestinal disorders suffer from abnormally high levels of inflammation in the digestive system, due to the food they eat and the body’s reaction to specific proteins and carbohydrates.
When a person with a digestive issue eats these foods, it results in the inflammation of the intestinal wall. This permeable barrier contains bacteria and pathogens to the gastrointestinal tract. However, when inflammation causes abnormal expansion of the wall, these harmful particles escape into the bloodstream.
As a result, the patient may start to notice the onset of the systemic inflammatory disease begin to show up in other areas of the body. People with arthritis may see an exacerbation of symptoms, and those patients dealing with skin issues like eczema may also experience flares. Drinking mullein tea helps to reduce symptoms of digestive inflammation that leads to the formation of gas and cramps.
Skincare Benefits
35-million Americans live with chronic skin problems like eczema and psoriasis. These disorders produce symptoms of unsightly sores and rashes on patients, where the skin inflames and turns red in color. Drinking mullein herbs will help alleviate the symptoms of eczema, and you can use the leftover tea leaves in a cold compress to relieve the symptoms of irritation, and itching associated with eczema rashes and psoriasis lesions.
Relief from Muscle and Joint Pain
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of mullein herbs make it an idea per and post-workout drink. Fill your water bottle with the tea and sip on it while you’re training for a peri-workout beverage that helps you recover from the effects of exercise. Mullein also helps to prevent cramping and spasms in athletes and active individuals.
Seniors who experience joint pain as a result of the symptoms of conditions like osteoarthritis and gout can benefit from the anti- inflammatory effects of mullein as well. The polyphenols in the tea act on the joints, reducing inflammation of the tendons and cartilage responsible for joint pain.
Treat Allergies
People who suffer from allergies to dust or pollen may benefit from the anti-allergenic properties of mullein. Drinking mullein tea also helps reduce inflammation that may start the onset of an asthma attack. The anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic properties of mullein help reduce the congestion and inflammation associated with allergies and conditions like asthma. Drinking the tea every day during the spring and summer will help increase your tolerance to these allergens. Steaming with the essential oil extract of mullein is also beneficial for relieving sinus congestion while soothing the symptoms of allergies.
Treat Ear Infections
Drinking mullein tea helps reduce the inflammation in the Eustachian tubes, the tiny tubes that lead from the middle ear to the throat. These tubes drain fluids from the ear, keeping them clear and clean. When infection inflames these tubes, the patient may develop symptoms of a sore throat. Drinking mullein tea may help reduce inflammation and signs of pain and swelling.
