It also has a warning that the leaves contain rotenone and coumarin, and neither are viewed with great favor by the FDA.whythesimplelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398782271351460498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717210857609863025.post-90431338308622692282013-07-20T06:01:57.050-07:002013-07-20T06:01:57.050-07:00Yes Mullein has many uses from what I read.

I know you can brew a tea from the leaves and I will look to see what it is used for.

Since reading your post, I've been searching for this on our property and just along the roads as I'm driving. I've found some!! I'll have to research it and try harvesting some of this. I'm super excited to try it out. Can it be used for anything else?

Sorry about that. It has been awhile since the class. I am glad you asked about that. <br />whythesimplelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398782271351460498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717210857609863025.post-36132616023625684632013-07-16T05:48:14.744-07:002013-07-16T05:48:14.744-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.whythesimplelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398782271351460498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717210857609863025.post-58433026189796902832013-07-15T19:04:58.937-07:002013-07-15T19:04:58.937-07:00This is great!

Found your site from The Barn Hop! Will be back often! Thanks for posting!nana1247https://www.blogger.com/profile/07173874828724057804noreply@blogger.com
