The mullein tree, or Verbascum Thapsus, grows widely in the US, thriving in poor, rocky or chalky, hard-packed soils. The tree is soft and fuzzy with grayish-green leaves.  The leaves from the mullein tree are harvested from plants in their first and second year.  The leaves are often dried to be made into capsules (as offered here), teas, and oils. The mullein leaf is slightly bitter and fairly pungent.  Mullein is immensely beneficial and is on the Food and Drug Administration's Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list.

Mullein is high in iron, magnesium, potassium, and sulfur. It is considered the herb of choice for respiratory problems, pulmonary diseases, and to treat the common cold and flu viruses. It helps to loosen mucus and expel it out of the body but it also calms spasms, is a natural painkiller and helps to reduce swelling in the glandular system.

The mullein tree and leaves were highly prized in Europe, and were brought to America by some of the first European immigrants. They cultivated the mullein plant in their gardens for use in teas and as a dried leaf for smoking.
