Let’s talk about mullein!
When I first arrived in the Okanagan, I thought, heck, gotta get rid of this invasive species!
Over time, I have come to realize it’s the least worrisome invasive species out there. In fact, upon research, I found out the crazy benefits of mullein as an expectorant and antispasmodic (meaning it is great for the respiratory system, those with asthma and lung problems and even swollen glands).
And so now I have come to love it.
Take a watch if you want to know how to make mullein tea and salve.

It’s super simple to do. Watch the video for more info.
