Verbascum thapsus flos
Yellow flowers of mullein particularly used in ear oil preparations and for gentle respiratory conditions.
Mullein flower (Verbascum thapsus flos) is a traditional herb used primarily for ear infections and respiratory conditions, with key active compounds including saponins, flavonoids, mucilage, and iridoids. Its primary modern uses are as an ear oil for otitis media and as a gentle respiratory demulcent, supported by clinical evidence for anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects.
Mullein flower's anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways by flavonoids and saponins, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. The mucilage content provides a demulcent action by coating mucous membranes, while iridoids like aucubin exhibit antiviral activity by interfering with viral replication. In ear oil preparations, the oil base enhances penetration of active compounds to the tympanic membrane, and saponins may disrupt bacterial biofilms.
