Oh, my ! Have you ever seen Mullein grow from brick like this?! I' have seen it on roadsides and fields but not directly from a brick, I can't wait to see the second year stalk lol . I think it is due to the thickness of its leave, being very close to succulents and succulents can grow out of a rock1 I mean, literally they don't need much rooting just a place to hold onto that give them the sun and capture the rain in their leaves and they thrive!
Nonetheless, there it is growing, as a matter of fact once I saw one noticed others.
I like to prepare Mullen as a tea but I found it very effective in tincture and in infusion. The picture below you'll see that I have it ready for teabags that I make and share with friends..
Many people talk about smoking it, but I think inhaling it as a steam and having it's properties go directly to your lungs would be more beneficial than having to go to your stomach then have to travel to get to your lungs, which are largely in our back, or having some kind of smog go into your lungs, which is beneficial for many. It doesn't deal with the underlying problem that is in the lung area where the mucus or the blockages may need the medicinal properties that are in Mullen heal as well.
I want to try an infusion with rabbit tobacco,(I am still researching) and mullein used with a nebulizer. As stated in the video below a nebulizer goes directly to the source, it is like taking in a steam bath but aiming where it is needed.
If anyone has one or has tried this method I would love to hear about your experience.
Below is a YouTube video on the subject that is really thorough and educational.
