The Simple Power of Mullein on the Soles of Your Feet

If a wet poultice feels too messy, a homemade infused oil is a cleaner alternative that you can make once and keep stored in your cupboard for months.

What You Need:

• Dried mullein flowers and crushed leaves.
• A carrier oil, such as standard olive oil or sweet almond oil.
• A clean glass jar with a tight, secure lid.
• A fine mesh strainer or a piece of cheesecloth.

How to Prepare and Apply:

1. Fill the Jar: Fill the glass jar halfway to the top with the dried mullein flowers and leaves.
2. Add the Oil: Pour the carrier oil over the herbs until the jar is completely full. Make sure every piece of the plant is completely submerged under the oil to prevent mold.
3. Infuse: Close the lid tightly. Place the jar in a sunny, warm windowsill for four to six weeks. Give the jar a gentle shake every single day.
4. Strain: After six weeks, pour the oil through the strainer or cheesecloth into a clean, dark bottle. Throw away the used herbs.
5. The Application: Right before you go to bed, massage a generous amount of this infused oil firmly and deeply into the soles of your feet.
6. Cover Up: Put on warm cotton socks immediately after massaging. This locks in the body heat, opens the pores further, and keeps your bed sheets clean.

Using mullein on the soles of the feet is a safe, traditional, and powerful way to support your body’s natural healing process using only simple ingredients from nature.
