Mullien also works great for burns and sunburns. Blanch or scald large leaves first till only slightly wilted, then cool. Instant sunburn relief when kept cold in fridge or icechest.
Bruised makes great wound packing, slows bleeds and promotes new skin growth.
We smoked the leaves to relieve spasms from whooping cough, which we all survived just fine from.
My grandmothers people used the dried leaves for diapers and menstrual pads when necessary.
Thanks so much Dave...woods lore is wonderful to share..

Plant videos are not the most exciting things to watch, but are some of the best things to know about. Great job !

Dear Dave, THANK YOU! 😇🐥. I JUST watched this yesterday and today I cut my finger in the fold crease of my index finger by using a knife to cut plants because I forgot scissors. I had only just gotten Mullein before going to the place I was getting Mountain Mint. It was/is deep and pops open even trying to straighten the finger, dripping bloody but I remembered your video, got back to the car within 7 minutes, grabbed a leaf of Mullein and a few flowers, chewed them to mush and placed on a small Mullein leaf and wrapped it up like you said. In only 5 minutes, the pain was gone, bleeding stopped and wound looked completely clean and clear💐😁😇. Thank You!! 🤗🌹. (Not sure how long to leave it on but it's been about 3 hours. When I take it off, the wound is still deep and opens EASILY so, I'm guessing at minimum 24 hours but, we'll see. At this rate it might close up way sooner. This stuff is AMAZING as a wound dressing! I'm using for lung issues but now I know it's way more. Again, Thank You. Blessings to you on your Journey Dave! 🌞😎💜✨

Maybe its just me, but the sound is really low.

Great video, Dave. You just sold me on the Kuksa, and a new spoon project with a pestle handle! By the way, I make it a habit to collect seeds from mullien and spread them all around my homestead.

Interesting, I'm looking forward to the rest of this series Dave. I really like the idea behind it as plants are everywhere and are good for so many things in a survival or self reliance situation.

[jamessix]

It was a little low, but I often watch them on my phone. This was lower then most but still really appreciated.
Thanks again for sharing.

This series is very interesting, I enjoy it a lot ;)
Also plant identification is one of my weakest areas and thanks to these videos I am learning a lot, thank you Dave!

[DerangedSurvival]

I've smoked mullein and used the tea to help with congestion in my lungs. It works phenomenal. Great advice brother thanks for sharing.

[chucklehead]

I see a lot of the plants you've discussed all the time. I'm learning a lot.

Love Mullen. It is a very good plant to have in the woods.

[FrontierLegacy]

The stalks make great bowdrill spindles as well.

[grizwoldstad]

Mullen is terrific! Although some folks can be allergic to it and smoking it would be a very bad idea, I am one of those folk, I suggest checking sensitivity by moist contact like in between fingers in the web area, if you get a numb or itch don't ingest or smoke as you could wind up in anaflaxia

[danfraser]

No sound but cc saved the day. good video great plant. The seeds can be used to stun fish or frogs when put in a small pond, with out harm to humans when cooked.

Good Video . I'd like to see the antiseptic qualities of the Mullien compared to say- bacitracin the next time I get cut (Hopefully not too soon ).That dressing is very useful and I use it when treating people with multiple lacerations, gun shot wounds, veinal and arterial ruptures etc., so I can work on multiple wound sites separately and keep fluid loss down. If you're by yourself you showed you'd still be able to function (ie., To get out of the woods), use that appendage and not have to use your other hand to hold direct pressure. If you go into shock the "direct pressure", dressing stays in place and gives you a fighting chance at least. Thanks again (as always) for a quality video, liking this series!

[SamaelHellscrem]

I have to say Materia Medica is one of my favorit series so far :)

[intothecalm]

That was a great video, thank you!
This entire series is very useful. But this is the one so far that I am most likely to use.

[Shagbark]

Continuing interesting info...thanks Dave

[tradesmanduece]

I think the guy that couldn't hear is growing potatoes in his ears. this video was possibly the best I've seen all year. you just put about seven new wrinkles in my brain. thank you for your time and efforts.

[FOB-yzgf]

Another great video Dave, keep them coming!
