Native to the cool, temperate climates of Europe and Asia, mullein (verbascum thapus) is a tall, yellow flowering plant often growing wild in Britain and North America. Mullein is also known as lady's foxglove, velvet plant, shepherd's herb and old man's flannel. It has an interesting history of practical and cosmetic use. Anciently, fresh mullein stalks were dipped in melted fat, ignited, and carried as flaming tapers in ceremonial processions. The large, soft, hair-covered leaves were used as diapers by some early Indians and leaves were also stuffed in shoes to keep thinly shod feet warm in the winter.
