Mullein:

The best use I have found for this herb, and there are many….
If you have a stomach virus….

Get a handful of flowers from mullein and STEEP them in 2 cups of hot water, strain this and drink one entire cup. This will almost immediately ease stomach cramps.

These flowers make a good sedative for the nervous system and also will ease pain.

Breathe in the vapors of tea made with fresh leaves for congestion.

Dry the berries and add one half cupful to two cups of hot water and SIMMER for 10 minutes. This helps with diarrhea from a stomach virus if you drink one half cup, cold, twice a day.
