Mullein Rolled or LEAF Smoke Blend

Mullein – Medicinal Benefits

All parts of mullein have been used to treat many different ailments but the dried leaves are what have been used to smoke since the inhaling of the burning leaves is what provides the treatment. As mentioned before, smoking mullein provides treatment for lung issues but what are these issues? Smoking mullein can help with influenza asthma attacks bronchitis pneumonia. But how does this work? Mullein contains chemicals called saponins. These chemicals help break down the mucus in the lungs and make it easier for you to cough it up and get it out, which can help ease coughing. This, in turn, reduces the chances of developing an infection from the gunk in your lungs.

A second benefit of smoking this herb comes from its antibacterial properties. Mullein is also traditionally used for lung support, helping to soothe the airways and support overall respiratory health. Sounds great, right but mullein is not intended for long-term use. It should only be used occasionally when you have a respiratory issue. 

How to Smoke Mullein

When it comes to smoking mullein, you will need to know that it is tasteless and the plain dried leaves do not burn very well. In doing so, you will need to add just a small amount of water to the leaves to aid in the burning. While you could just smoke mullein, it is better to combine some other healthy herbs to create an herbal smoking blend and add some flavor to the mix.

Smoke blends often include mullein for a smoother experience.

What happens if you smoke mullein

One recipe you may want to try is equal parts of dried mullein leaf, peppermint leaf, and thyme leaf. Place the dried ingredients in a mortar and pestle to grind to a fine powder. To add the moisture, apply one teaspoon of water to every six teaspoons of dried herb mix. Place the moistened ingredients in roll paper to make a cigarette or in a pipe.

Ok, now the herb mixture is ready to smoke but do not smoke more often than every two hours. Also, this treatment is not a long-term solution to respiratory issues. In doing so, do not smoke longer than two weeks. At this point, if you are still having problems go to the doctor.

The habit of smoking mullein as a traditional practice has a long history, and its use in cigarettes and smoke blends continues to attract interest among wellness enthusiasts.
