Perhaps I cud market all that mullein for the sole purpose of natural medicine that duznt hurt the body. Imagine how rich u cud b putting all THOZ pharmecudicle co. Out of business. Also I've had a few friends die from cancer, b4 that , they always complained about how bad the medicines they took were and they always came back eventually worse than B4 they went into the hospital.😢

How many times a day did you drink your tea? I have dried mullein I ordered in bulk and I've been making tea to help my horrible sore throat. I combine the mullein with dandilion root , Pau d' arco, and nettle. Sometimes echinacea too.Right now I'm sucking on a manuka honey and lemon sucker I had ordered for my daughter for when she gets a sore throat.

@@marygayquigley9672 when I'm only using it for arthritis, once a day while it's bothering me. I'm lucky enough to not have constant discomfort. If I my husband or myself are sick, I've had it up to 3 times a day but I didn't stay there long. My 11yo has had it only once a day.

@@aimtrue918 Thank you so much for sharing.😊

@@marygayquigley9672 you're welcome, I hope it works well for you!

My first mullein flowing this year. Thanks for all the great info.

What amount of syrup do you take and how often? Thanks for sharing any information

Great info! I would think honey might ferment the flowers?

As far as I know honey would largely do the same thing the sugar content is so high. But personally I would use glycerin over anything with sugar since this is for when the immune system needs help you don't want the extreme immune suppressing effects of anything with sugar. All it takes is 10 grams to cut your immune function in half. Let that sink in.

Remember God’s fourth commandment KJV is reminding us of the beautiful Genesis 2:2&3. Jesus is our example. He kept the seventh day sabbath rest even the forty days after His resurrection!

Have you ever used honey on the flowers to make a cough syrup?😊

Indians smoked the leaves. I make a tea with the leaves it works well

I was wondering about the stalk, so thanks for the info!!!

@@bryantcompton1642 I've smoked the leaves for congestion. It seemed to help and didn't taste bad or strong.

I heard the seeds aren't good to take. Maybe that's why people don't use it. Thank you for the information. I love learning from other people.

Just a friendly fyi: if you find very young plants, they transplant well, with a little extra "care" for the first few days (protect from direct sun).

@@khm2128 i found those plants last fall, and as i remember - googled about the plant and found about it needs two , or three years to flower. before it, it grows as some weird looking leaves on the ground, which they claim was earlier (than toiletpaper) used as as to wipe your , not mouth hole. and i found the leaves growing in the same area, so i transplanted it to a friends garden, in the shadow from the northern sun behind a small plank(raised garden), and now it seems to begin to flower. actually i have removed the plank just today, so we will see how it gets. but i will get some compost to it too, i think. in sweden they are called "kungsljus" (translated to english would be like "the licht of the king").. and it seems to be illegal to fish with them in this country, which might say something. as for cough syrap, i think honey would do better than sugar. not the least because it says in the holy bible like, "eat honey, My son, because its good"

@@jesuschristislordoflordsan427 The seeds in the flowers have been historically used to stun fish. The seeds have a soapy substance called saponins which are not poisonous but relatively toxic. The plant usually flowers in the second year, although i've had some do it the first year. The Swedish name, I would guess, is because the flowering stalks, after they've gone to seed, can be dipped in candle wax to be burned. The leaves are soft in the first year, which is the toilet paper reference. It is too risky to get the itchy hairs in the wrong places, in my opinion. The leaves, flexible stalks (not when old and woody) and the woody root can be used to make a decoction. This can be used to fortify the lubrication in the joints & to fortify the trigone muscle (responsible for urge to urinate). Regarding strengthening the trigone, squats should be done also, to strengthen the pelvic floor. The leaves can be heated (in a dry skillet or maybe in the microwave) to make them steamy. Then they can be applied to sore feet. This is especially effective for plantar fascitis. To see nice documentation on herbal rememdies, see the online site of Henriette's Herbal (Henriette Kress).

Same here... :)

@@khm2128 Lol , definitely not a good place to experiment with .

Can you use mineral in place of olive oil?

Can it be fresh flowers?

@@ishka3405 yes

Thanks for that tip I suffer with ear aches

​@@nonig3898sleep with that ear facing the pillow. I had the same problem till l did that. Use antibiotics too.

yes, apparently you can make an oil infusion to use for ears. Its antiseptic and analgesic. Isn't nature amazing:)

great suggestion. it was the one thing throwing me off in this video

I would suspect that the reason she is using granulated sugar over honey is that the sugar brings out the liquids in the flowers through osmosis. Would this be more or less effective at extraction than honey or a simple simmering decoction? I have no clue. A similar process is used when making Fermented Plant Juice out of weeds in Korean Natural Farming.

The honey syrup does ferment, just flip and burp your jar daily.

If I used sugar I would use raw sugar, if allergic to honey.

it says in the holy bible like, "eat honey, My son, because its good"

Dear brother, did you use leaves or flowers, please, dried or fresh leaves?

You can use the leaves dried or fresh!

Yep I just moved to Arkansas and I was delighted to see Mullen everywhere

Take.NAC...N-acetyl cysteine. Converts to glutathione. Has made my mild centri-lobar emphysema almost non-existent.

also from Arkansas and just harvest some flowers.

Yes it did work and Does work! Wish I had some Mullein here.

With sugar?

@@osamedennadi6309 Sugar has been used for centuries as cough medicine, preserving, and in canning. Where did you 'hear' sugar is "bad"? Candy, junk foods, and high fructose corn syrup are a bit different than making an herbal syrup...perhaps the small amount helps brings white blood cells that help to heal, much like getting poked with acupuncture needles.

No, you are wrong. Anything put in honey is preserved. White sugar is poison. Period.

I would personally not even use either but glycerin instead. It's been shown it only takes about 10 grams of sugar to lower key factors of the immune system by 50%! Sugar has an extremely powerful immune suppressant effect on the body and the last thing you want to take when ever sick. Extremely important information to remember with what foods you eat. Think broth, or chicken noodle soup not nice pudding. No sugar, low simple carbs.

​@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeephoney is preferred

You all make me nuts.

🤣😆 That was hilarious 💐🙏🇺🇸

😎 If adding leafes keep in mind that this is a biannual plant, and leafes are most effective piçked early in the season from first year plants, without the flowers. The flowering happens in the second year. The leafes can be dried, and kept for tea making. Also helpful in case of asthma.

Honey would be the best way. It has medicinal properties as well as being antiviral and antibacterial. Never would have used sugar.

Using the honey was oerfect! I did it

No I am a bee keeper, the mullein and honey are at cross purposes. The contrast will not hold the wanted effect the same way. 45 yrs messing w herbal practices. Don't insult the gift this lady gave us all. Learn how things work dont assume

@@pbanther3902 please explain how the mullein and honey are at cross purposes. I'm interested in learning about this as I have also used honey to make this.

@@michellehofer2152 hello must be short write me back if you need more. Depending what you are addressing. For 1 has a totally dif 'action' not just a simple sweetener. Sorry no time to reread the thread right now. Honey raw unheated is valuable and activates many directions. SIMPLE sweetness for Mouth taste best not in anyway contradict purpose. Plain refined sugar I have understood is a power ful preservative. Sorry from UK more if you ask but might take a bit. Oxox PS used to by my canning sugar by the 25lb bag for light syrup.

Just checking to make sure I understand correctly. I use liquor instead of sugar? I like that a lot better! I'm a big fan of Makers Mark! 😋

I a diabetic and I don't eat sugar, so, I to was wondering if there was another way to make it without using sugar.

Make a tea with it then!

@@J_Chap Do a tincture it seems to work as well.

Hi Big Dan! Can this be made with local honey instead of sugar? If so that's what I'll do!

I was just thinking that during the video hahha nice... I may try doing the sugar packing for extraction and adding honey to the finished syrup for preserving, maybe even some citric acid; especially since honey and lemon together are already a sore throat remedy in our household...

Inger Weaver Local honey is the best! Most honey from the store is pasteurized and loses it's beneficial qualities.

ThePsylent Asylum I'll add lemon to my remedy next time. Our household is huge on warm water, honey, and apple cider vinegar for coughs and sore throats, and many times I prefer drinking it vs spiced cider or hot cocoa in the winter.

oh wow over spiced cider is huge! never thought of apple cider vinegar for coughs, we use it for digestion, tinctures for those who cant use alcohol, baking and getting rid of fruit flies by making a trap using dish soap, a container covered in cling wrap with tiny puncture holes... better than fly paper, honey or any chems .... we also dilute our honey and lemon mix with warm water and if you are already having to take acetaminophen or its herbal supps you can add to make a substitute for that expensive "neocitron stuff" in packets ...

Reading this 5 yrs later did your experiment with Hyssop flowers have success?

Maybe dandelions

Spruce tips in the spring layered with sugar is amazing!
