Mullein is an expectorant, which means it helps the body expel excess mucus, usually by helping make your coughs more productive, to bring up mucus that may be settling in the chest or in the throat. As a flower essence, Mullein clears the mind of trivial pursuits, enhancing the ability for one to hear a distinct “inner voice.” The essence also strengthens an individual's moral conscience (or “inner light”), which can be empowering against social pressures that hinder one from reaching their potential.
