It's another Wellness Wednesday. In yesterday's episode of Jumpstart with CPR on WONIRADIO, holistic guru herself, sista Violet, shared her top 5 plants as well as items you must have. If you did not listen, be sure to check it out on WONIRADIO and click podcast episode #44. One plant Sis Violet recommended was the Mullein plant.

Mullein (Verbascum) is a common weed (don't get triggered by the word weed), used for centuries in herbal medicine. Mullein is used to treat lung and respiratory health including Hoarseness, Tonsillitis, Cough and cold, Asthma, and Bronchitis. For the purpose of relieving these conditions, mullein is typically consumed in liquid form as an infusion or syrup. It is used alone or in combination with other herbs, like mint, rosemary, hawthorn flower, or pine leaves. As part of my foraging exercise, I've included an image of the Mullein plant. We must be able to recognize the herbs that can be consumed while on this journey.

Mullein also contains ursolic acid, a substance that some researchers believe could be used to prevent and treat COVID-19 infection.
To continue to listen to Sis Violet on Woniradio, tune in every Thursday for your holistic 101 info. Your Health is your Wealth.
