Mullein
MODERATE EVIDENCEBotanicalLast updated
AVELOR SUMMARY
Mullein is a traditional respiratory herb — the leaves contain mucilage (demulcent for coughs) and saponins (expectorant — loosen mucus). Mullein flower oil ear drops have limited evidence for ear infection pain relief. Used in herbal cough remedies. Very limited clinical data — mostly traditional use. The mechanism (mucilage + saponin combination) is pharmacologically plausible for respiratory comfort.
