Closeup of flower spike of a Wooly mullein plant
Mullein (often also called Great mullein, Common mullein, Woolly mullein, Flannel mullein, or Velvet dock) is a plant species that originated in Eurasia. Because of its ability to spread rapidly and colonize in bare and disturbed soil, in some areas it becomes marked as an invasive weed. The plan has a number of medicinal applications, especially for sores, rashes, skin infections, respiratory ailments and joint pain such as arthritis.
