Mullein tincture

Verbascum thapsus 

wild, biennial, not invasive but is introduced and you've seen this very beneficial respiratory health ally growing well in areas disturbed by human development, habitat destruction and  . . . . 

We mostly work with the leaves here at Meraki - drinking in tea, smoking in blends, taking as tincture. 

Our lungs tend to hold our Grief - when loss steals our breath, when we gasp at yet another avoidable or preventable catastrophe, when we see what damage can be done when we stray too far from interdependence and rooting in our compassion together. 

Mullein, oh Mullein. your leaves make great tinder and blankets for faeries. We love you. 

 

As with all offerings from Meraki Farmacy, all plants are grown and tended with respect, reverance, regeneration, providing deep nutrition and integrity for all life
