Mullein Root

Mullein root is incredible medicine for the spine and the bladder. As we get older, or due to injury, the cushioning pads between our vertebrae stop producing so much lubrication of synovial fluids. The mullein root stimulates production of this fluid, and also encourages straightening and alignment of the spine itself. Great to use when you find yourself all kinked up after an hard day’s work, or the next morning upon rising stiff and bent. For the bladder it will help strengthen the trigone muscles at the base of the bladder, meaning you can hold more for longer and inflammation and the urge to “go” is reduced. It takes about 2 weeks of regular use to notice a difference in bladder strength, but it’s great for helping out with bed-wetting due to irritation and weakness, and incontinence due to age, injury or post pregnancy.

The roots in this tincture were harvested from the first flush of young wild mullein that came up for the year. This is a tincture that may take some sustained daily use (2-3 weeks) before you notice a difference. For some, the change is immediate, sometimes bladder irritation is reduced within hours and muscles and bones will straighten and align themselves almost instantly. You may find that over time with sustained use, you might only need a few drops to feel the effects. Like the body remembers the medicine and you only need a taste to activate it.
