Common Mullein 

 (Verbascum Thapsus)

Common Mullein thrives throughout the United States in the Tall Grass Prairie and the Eastern Deciduous Forest. Common Mullein can be utilized to treat frostbite and malaria as well. It contains Oleonolic Acid which is what prevents and heals malaria. Oleonolic Acids chemical formula is C30H48O3. To use this plant medicinally, you must extract oil from the flowers to treat frostbite. A tea of the flowers and leaves can be used to treat coughs, sore throats, and malaria. A medicinal poultice can be used externally to treat sunburn. Boiling the roots can make a decoction that is very useful in numbing the pain of toothaches. An oil made from the flowers and/or roots can be used to treat fungal infections due to Mullein's fungicide properties.
