Illustrative photo of the ingredient.
Leaf extract. Mullein is a tall, biennial plant with soft, felt-like leaves covered in fine hairs. It grows along roadsides and meadows in Europe, Asia and North America. The 10:1 on the label describes the extract: about ten parts of leaf were used to make one part of extract.
How It Has Been Used
In European folk herbalism, mullein leaves and flowers have long been brewed as a warm tea for chest and throat comfort. Modern clinical research on mullein is limited, so most of what is said about it comes from traditional use.
Its Place In BreathiZen
It is the first-listed botanical, included for its long tradition in comfort-focused herbal routines.*
