Mullein (Verbascum densiflorum) is a flowering plant found in mountain areas. It's been used in traditional medicines in Pakistan and Turkey.
Mullein contains chemicals that might help fight certain infections.
People use mullein for asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, colds, cough, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific to support these uses.
Mullein is sometimes called Aaron's rod. Don't confuse this with Goldenrod, which is also sometimes called Aaron's rod. These are not the same.
