How to Make Mullein Flower Oil at Home
Creating your own mullein-infused oil is easy, affordable, and deeply effective. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
You’ll Need:
Fresh or dried mullein flowers
High-quality olive oil (or almond oil)
A clean glass jar with a lid
A strainer or cheesecloth
A dropper bottle for storage
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Harvest or Buy Mullein Flowers
If foraging, pick bright yellow flowers on a dry, sunny day.
Avoid leaves and stalks — the flowers are the most effective for ears.
Slightly air-dry them for 24–48 hours to remove moisture and avoid spoilage.
Step 2: Infuse the Oil
Fill a clean jar halfway with the flowers.
Pour in the olive oil until the flowers are fully submerged.
Seal the jar and place it in a warm, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks.
Shake the jar gently every couple of days.
Step 3: Strain and Store
After 2–3 weeks, strain the oil through cheesecloth into a clean bowl.
Transfer the oil to a dark glass dropper bottle.
Store it in a cool, dark place (or the refrigerator). It can last for several months.
