Mullein is awesome for so many things! I will have to try that! We call mullein "mules ears" around here and it is very prolific. A few years ago, I had a badly bruised shin that got infected (swollen with red streaks) and I couldn't get a doctor's appointment so I applied a mullein, plantain and hollyhock leaf poultice and overnight it was almost normal! I am soooo glad that you mentioned mullein - I will ask my sister to pick up some capsules at the health food store tomorrow.
