noxious weeds. A native of the Mediterranean, it was first brought to the US as an ornamental and medicine plant. Then, in a relatively short time, Mullein naturalized. As a result, it can now be found growing just about everywhere. In some places large stands of Mullein are found in a monoculture (with nothing else growing). At first glance they appear to be taking over. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p><p>Mullein thrives in damaged soil. An overgrowth of Common Mullein is typically found in the wake of a forest fire, near burned brush piles, in the debris of rockslides and anywhere the soil is open, exposed, and damaged. Once established, it seems to take over for a few years. Nevertheless, as the soil recovers and native growth returns, Mullein begins to recede. This natural process is said to run in about 7-year cycles. One theory is that a severe insect infestation causes Mulleins decline.<\/p><p>The moral of the story is that Nature Is Intelligent and knows what it needs and when. The human ego does not understand or is incapable of seeing the big picture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-556c242\" data-id=\"556c242\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e710201 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e710201\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/wondermentgardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mullien-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4765\" alt=\"Mullein from Gila National Forest NM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wondermentgardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mullien-1.jpg 405w, https:\/\/wondermentgardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mullien-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wondermentgardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mullien-1-200x267.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f714ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f714ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Earth (every part of it) is alive and intelligent.

Use Mullein root for bladder inflammation, UTI, painful diarrhea, urinary incontinence, inflammation in the joints (like arthritis) and internal bleeding. The root of the mullein plant helps to tighten and tone the pelvic floor in women. Thus, making in useful in formula, for treating and preventing prolapses of the abdominal region. (See Abdominal Organ Prolapse for more information.) For men, the root of the Common Mullein helps reduce prostate swelling and inflammation. Used, again in formula, helps diminish nocturia (nighttime urination), urinary dribbling and pelvic fullness syndrome caused by BPH. For children, mullein is often used to prevent and treat urinary incontinence and nighttime bed wetting.

I like to combine the flowers with garlic for both the infused oil and tincture ear formulas. Garlic is also a strong antibacterial and antiviral. There are few remedies as effective and reliable for treating ear infections. Alone or in combination, the oil is also used to address problems associated with the accumulation of ear wax.
