Mullein: preparation as a tea
To prepare a tea from mullein, 1.5-2 g of the finely chopped flowers (1 teaspoon is about 0.5 g) is poured over boiling water and strained after 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, the drug can be prepared with cold water and then heated to boiling.
One cup of the tea should be drunk twice a day.
What should be taken into account when using it?
Currently, there are no known side effects or interactions with other remedies or contraindications to taking mullein flowers.
Due to the pleasant sweet taste and mild effect of mullein flowers, they are particularly popular in pediatrics.
Storage tips
Wool flowers should be stored in a dry place and protected from light. If stored incorrectly, the flowers will turn brown to dark brown or become moldy. They should then no longer be used.
