Mullein Tincture - A Deeper Dive
Share
Here is a deeper dive into the ingredients of our wild Mullein Tincture:
- Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a wild herb that grows in cooler, less humid climates. Mullein Tincture or concentrate is a traditional herbal remedy with a long history of use for various ailments, particularly those affecting the respiratory system, skin, and joints. Mullein is often used to address respiratory conditions like coughs, colds, bronchitis, COPD, nerve damage from COVID-19 or other respiratory/sinus illnesses, and asthma. Its saponins may help loosen mucus, making it easier to cough up, while the mucilage it contains is thought to soothe irritated respiratory membranes and reduce inflammation. By calming inflammation and loosening mucus, Mullein may help ease breathing difficulties and alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory discomfort. In some cases we have seen the nerve damage to the senses, associated with COVID-19 and the vaccine, revitalized and restored to full health after ingesting Mullein.
- 100 Proof Organic Sugar Cane Alcohol is considered by many herbalists as an ideal choice for creating medicinal tinctures because it balances several key benefits. This alcohol is a highly effective solvent for extracting a broad range of beneficial compounds from herbs, including both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble constituents like alkaloids, glycosides, essential oils, and more. We use 100 proof or higher to reach optimum concentration for the highest quality product for your health needs and benefits. This type of ethanol is free from harmful additives and contaminants often found in denatured alcohol, making it safe for consumption and topical use in tinctures. We guarantee that the alcohol was produced from sugar cane grown without pesticides, synthetic additives, or GMOs, further enhancing the purity of your tincture and potentially reducing the risk of unwanted chemical exposure. High-proof alcohol, particularly 50% ABV and above, acts as a natural preservative, extending the shelf life of tinctures significantly, often for 5+ years. The alcohol content helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, ensuring the tincture remains potent and safe to use over time. Alcohol can improve the bioavailability of certain plant compounds, meaning they are more readily absorbed and utilized by the body. Tinctures are concentrated and easy to administer in small doses, making them a convenient way to benefit from herbal remedies.
