Making Mullein Infused Oil

For ear infections, skin conditions, or joint pain, mullein infused oil is an effective remedy. Here’s how to make it:

  1. Fill a sterilized jar halfway with dried mullein flowers.
  2. Pour a carrier oil, such as olive oil or sweet almond oil, over the flowers until the jar is nearly full, ensuring the flowers are completely submerged.
  3. Seal the jar and place it in a warm, sunny spot for 2-4 weeks to allow the properties of the flowers to infuse into the oil.
  4. Strain the oil through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove all plant material. Store the oil in a clean, airtight bottle in a cool, dark place.
