The first ingredient I have chosen is mullein leaf. Its scientific name is verbascum thaspus. From my research, I have found that mullein is often used as a filler for smoking blends. The plant has been used since ancient times, primarily for the treatment of coughs and congestion. It is supposed to be good for the lungs, which is a good thing since we are going to smoke this. It has also been known to be used to treat skin ailments, such as sores, infections and rashes. Mullein leaf is also a mild sedative, which should help give our smoking mixture a relaxing effect. It is inexpensive, which makes it ideal as a filler. I could not find a description of what mullein tastes like, but this should not matter since I plan to use natural ingredients for flavoring the finished mixture. If you want to know more about mullein leaf, here is a good article. Check back tomorrow for the next ingredient.
