Mullein tea provides vitamins B-2, B-5, B-12, and D, choline, hesperidin, PABA, sulfur, magnesium, mucilage, saponins, and other active substances. The tea is served as a beverage, but it is best known as one of the safest, most effective herbal cough remedies.
Mullein is an expectorant and a tonic for the lungs, mucus membranes and glands. An infusion is used for for colds, emphysema, asthma, hay fever and whooping cough. Strain the tea through cheesecloth, or the little hairs can get stuck in your throat and make you cough even more. Laboratory tests have shown that it is anti-inflammatory, with antibiotic activity, and that it inhibitsTB (tuberculosis bacillus.)
Indians smoked dried mullein and coltsfoot cigarettes for bronchitis and asthma. The tea is also an astringent, it's good for diarrhea, and it's been used in compresses for hemorrhoids for centuries. The heated leaves have been used in poultices to help other herbs get absorbed through the skin.
