Product Overview
Egyptian mullein (Verbascum thapsus L.) harvested from Upper Egypt's semi-arid highlands is valued for its large, densely pubescent leaves rich in mucilage, saponins, and flavonoids. These bioactive compounds make mullein a cornerstone ingredient in respiratory health formulations worldwide. The dry Egyptian climate produces mullein with optimal drying characteristics and high concentrations of beneficial compounds.
HS Herbs supplies whole mullein leaves and cut-and-sifted grades suitable for herbal tea production, tincture manufacturing, and dietary supplement formulation. Our mullein is carefully harvested, gently dried to preserve the soft, velvety leaf texture and mucilage content, and cleaned to remove stems and foreign matter. Each lot is tested for moisture, purity, and microbiological compliance.
Mullein is traditionally used for respiratory support teas, herbal cough preparations, ear oil infusions, and herbal smoking blends. HS Herbs supplies mullein to herbal supplement companies, tea blenders, and natural health product manufacturers across Europe and North America.
