    Episode 4. Mullein, Verbascum thapsusMiraculous Mullein - Ray Deep in winter night the air may bite one's toes,One may see a beacon of light standing tall amongst the snow.Mullein, the candlewick plant, silver-green leaves are soft,Waiting to be harvested and hung upside down, abundant in my loft. I'll utilize stalks for burning and make a tasty tea."Be wary of the seeds" grandmothers words rang through me,Mullein seeds are quite poisonous, so remove them when you brew. Consider throwing them in the water tomorrow to catch fish easier too. My body soothed by mullein leaf tea steaming in my cup,And warmed by the fire their stalks lit right back up,I'll say a grateful prayer and tuck back into bed, Thankful for grandmothers' words ringing in my head.

[Name Background]The Latin word "barba" or "barbascum" refers to the hairy stamens and velvety leaves.The Greek Island of Thapsus connects the species of mullein to the abundant growth in this region.The common name Mullein is inspired from the Latin word "mollis", which describes soft, hairy leaves.

Mullein is drought tolerant requiring at least 6 inches of water a year and does not like wet feet. Cold temperatures induce flowering in Verbascum thapsus's second year while foliage remains evergreen, providing winter interest to the landscape. Deer, elk, mountains goats, chipmunks, prairie dogs, and small mammals enjoy mullein when there is little to no other food available in winter months.When applied to the garden, mullein may provide a tall vertical contrast that stays evergreen.

Our candlewick plant served as a bridge between the colonization of the New World and understanding of healing throughout the colonies. The National Formulary in 1916-1936 acknowledged Verbascum thapsus as a staple in herbal medicine and was approved by the German Commission E advisory panel for the treatment for respiratory health.Verbascum thapsus has been used throughout time by medical professionals in naturopathic, electric, herbalist, home remedies, physicians, and in medical institutions for the healing of both humans and animals.
