A hummingbird is visiting nearby honeysuckle and its path crisscrosses those tall stalks. A woodpecker, intent on its foraging, doesn\u2019t seem to notice. It goes up and down the stalk, perhaps eating the ants and other bugs as well as eating some of the millions of seeds that are forming. One morning while I was harvesting strawberries, I found a whole family of voles underneath the thick mullein leaves. The babies were small and hairless, probably only a few days old. The large leaves perfectly curled over their nook, offering a beautiful refuge from the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mullein Uses &amp; Plant Profile Summary:<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1554\" src=\"https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/22-12-1024x768.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/22-12-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/22-12-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/22-12-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/22-12.jpg 1500w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Botanical Name:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Verbascum thapsus, V. olympicum, V. densiflorum, V. virgatum, V. blattaria, V. spp.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Other Common Names:<\/strong>\u00a0Western Wormwood, Western Mugwort, St. John\u2019s Plant<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family:<\/strong>\u00a0Scrophulariaceae<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parts Used:<\/strong>\u00a0roots, leaves, flowers<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energetics:<\/strong>\u00a0roots: warm, dry;\u00a0leaves: cool, moist;\u00a0flowers: cool, moist<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taste:<\/strong>\u00a0sweet, salty<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plant Properties:<\/strong>pectoral, demulcent, relaxant, lymphatic, modulates inflammation, possibly antiviral<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plant Uses:\u00a0<\/strong>relaxes lungs, soothes sore lungs, calms asthma, alleviates dry coughs, strengthens bladder muscles, addresses back pain, relieves earaches, tightens tissues of hemorrhoids<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plant Preparations:<\/strong>\u00a0tea (flowers), nourishing herbal infusion (leaves), decoction (roots), tincture (all parts), fomentation (leaves), infused oil (flowers), smoke (leaves)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love watching my garden wake up in the early morning hours of the summer.
