Mullein Leaf Tincture (Verbascum thapsus) – Concentrated liquid herbal supplement

Summary
Mullein Leaf Tincture is a highly concentrated herbal extract made from dried leaves from Verbascum thapsus, also known as large mullein or mullein. This dietary supplement is produced with a potent 1:3 herb-to-solvent ratio, which ensures that the active compounds in the plant are preserved for the best possible effect. Mullein has a long history in traditional medicine, particularly for supporting the respiratory system, relieving irritation and promoting general well-being. The plant is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, phenylethanoids, iridoids, glycosides, vitamin C and essential minerals. The tincture is made from cultivated plants without pesticides or chemicals, and it is completely pure, free of GMOs and additives. This makes Mullein Leaf Tincture a popular choice for those who want natural support respiratory system, digestion, immune system, skin healing and sleep.

Health benefits
Mullein Leaf Tincture offers a number of potential health benefits, based on both traditional use and recent research:

• Support for the respiratory system:
  Mullein contains mucilage, which forms a protective and soothing membrane over the mucous membranes in the throat and lungs. This can relieve dry coughs, irritation and ease breathing in case of seasonal complaints, allergies, asthma or bronchitis.

• Mild expectorant effect:
  The saponins in mullein can help dissolve and remove mucus from the respiratory tract, making it easier to breathe.

• Antioxidant Protection:
  The flavonoids in the plant, such as quercetin, luteolin and apigenin, protect cells from oxidative stress and support cell health.

• Anti-inflammatory effect:
  Several bioactive substances in mullein, such as aucubin and verbascoside, have shown the ability to reduce inflammation, which can provide support for skin irritations, joint problems and mild restlessness.

• Antimicrobial properties:
  In vitro studies show that mullein can inhibit bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as viruses such as influenza A, herpes simplex and coronavirus HCoV-229E.

• Support for wound healing and skin care:
  Mullein extracts have shown the ability to accelerate the regeneration of skin tissue, and are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of minor wounds, burns and skin inflammations.

• Calming and sleep-promoting effect:
  The herb has natural sedative properties, and can support relaxation and contribute to better sleep quality.

• Mild diuretic effect:
  Mullein can help support kidney function and fluid balance by promoting urine production.

• Digestive support and astringent effect:
  Can help relieve mild diarrhea and calm an irritated digestive tract.

• Support for ear health:
  Traditionally used in ear drops to reduce inflammation and fight infections in the ear canal.

• Skin and hair care:
  Has been used in cosmetics and hair tonics. Studies suggest that mullein can inhibit the enzyme 5-α-reductase, which is associated with hair loss.

Top Health Effects and Surprising Benefits
The two most used and best documented health effects are:

• Airway support, including relief from cough, bronchitis and asthma

• Anti-inflammatory effect, which is supported by both in vitro and in vivo findings

One lesser known effect is mullein anthelmintic (parasitic) properties. Traditional use in regions such as Pakistan has shown that mullein can help paralyze and eliminate intestinal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms.
