Medicinal uses
Mullein oil is a very medicinal and valuable destroyer of disease germs.[1]
Earache
Mullein oil is recommended for earache and discharge from the ear, and for any eczema of the external ear and its canal. Dr. Fernie (Herbal Simples) states that some of the most brilliant results have been obtained in suppurative inflammation of the inner ear by a single application of Mullein oil, and that in acute or chronic cases, two or three drops of this oil should be made to fall in the ear twice or thrice in the day.[2]
Diarrhoea
Mullein is said to be of much value in diarrhoea, from its combination of demulcent with astringent properties, by this combination strengthening the bowels at the same time. In diarrhhoa the ordinary infusion is generally given, but when any bleeding of the bowels is present, the decoction prepared with milk is recommended.[3]
Toothache
A decoction of the roots is used to alleviate toothache.[4]
