Learn how to make mullein tincture that can be used to help support lung or bronchial health as well as congestions, asthma, constipation, inflammation, headaches and gout.
Fill the rest of the jar with the vodka or the glycerin and water. Make sure that all the dried mullein is completely covered so that it doesn't go mouldy.
Place a small piece of baking paper or parchment paper on top and then add the lid.

Shake daily and make sure that the mullein stays under the liquid.
