I try not to curse her when she seeds herself in my perennial beds, as I know she is a useful, albeit prolific, herb. I used to use mullien oil in my children's ears when they were little for ear infections. I believe it was made by packing mullien flowers into a glass bottle and covering with warm olive oil, and steeping this for several weeks in a sunny window. This info should be verified by someone more competent than I!Laura ofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241842755792415489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-89812693491006142302009-11-15T21:24:12.884-06:002009-11-15T21:24:12.884-06:00In the west I always look at mullein as a weed but...In the west I always look at mullein as a weed but I knew it had other beneficial uses.
