mullein harvest with herbalist Susun Weed - part 1

[sugarplum10001]

one time my dad got mixed up with names of plants and told me that that was a Japanese weed. But i was young then i din't know alot about plants. Know that i got older i knew about plants because my grandmother is a gardener and learned alot about medicine and she told me that this is actually mullien. So know i know and i actually have one in my yard which i think they harvested already. :)

so what happens if you smoke it?

[babyblack94]

@andrewaasen500 strengthens the lungs, you dont really want to smoke it every day if necesarry since any smoke can eventually be harmful of course, but it makes a great smoke mixture ingredient when rubbed, hope it gives you some insight

Has anybody ever smoked mullein?

I thought it was bad to use plants that grow near a roadway because of the heavy metals from exhaust?

[wisewomantradition]

@AngoraBny - gasoline no longer contain heavy metals

[Jefferdaughter]

@wisewomantradition - The lead has been removed from gasoline, but the soils along roadways are still polluted: from past exhaust; from runnoff of petro chemicals from the paving, fluid leaks from vehicles passing, and - lead from tire weights!

When I have a choice, I prefer plants not near roadways.

Thanks for your videos!

Mullein tincture of flowers and the root, this works wonders for slipped disk, arthrithus, ext. I take 1 teaspoon each day. The pain relief for low back is almost immediate. Dont leave the root.

is that tabaco 

[Jefferdaughter]

@mrscaryspider - No, mullein is NOT tabacco. Though roughly similar in habit (shape of plant), the two plants are distinctly different. If you saw them both in person, you would not confuse them. Among the differences: mullein has thick, 'fuzzy' leaves; tabacco leaves are thiner and more pliable, and lack the 'fuzzy' coating.

This herb goes way back in time as I am sure you know. It was introduced here in the US in the mid 1700's and can be invasive due to its aggressive growing habit. Thanks for the video.
