El Naturalista mullein is a plant traditionally used to alleviate respiratory system disorders, thanks to its expectorant properties that help to eliminate phlegm and decongest the chest.
It also relieves throat and pharyngeal irritation and promotes comfort in the upper respiratory tract. In this way, it helps to alleviate the discomfort caused by constant coughing, as well as the symptoms of colds, bronchitis, pharyngitis and laryngitis.
This plant is also used to soothe pain in the legs and muscles, as it has diuretic properties that stimulate the elimination of excess fluids. For this purpose, the infusion should be taken, which helps to deflate the legs and reduce oedema.
For varicose veins, phlebitis and haemorrhoids, its anti-inflammatory and vasodilator properties are used, which help to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by these conditions.
