Notes

Maceration takes weeks; do not put into the ear without clinician guidance; stop if irritation appears.

Why it works

Mullein florets carry irritant hairs; oil maceration can suspend fine plant particles. Use on intact skin only; avoid mucous membranes and the ear canal unless a clinician advises you individually.
