🌿 As We Grow With Purpose 

Mullein Trimming/Harvesting

I currently have five mullein plants growing, and on December 1st I harvested a portion of them to dehydrate. The goal wasn’t just to prepare enough mullein for tea, but also to begin testing my first homemade mullein balm — another step forward in growing with purpose and expanding the natural wellness options I can share.

As part of this test, I’ve been working to understand how often I can trim the plants while keeping them healthy and growing strong. Based on this first round, it looks like mullein may allow for trimming or harvesting roughly every 15 days without slowing its growth too much.

The photos show what the plants looked like immediately after trimming, and then again on day ten, all lined up in my grow tent. They have bounced back beautifully and are almost ready for the next harvest. When I reach day 15, I will cut them again and measure the final amount of dried mullein I get from this cycle.

Once dehydrated, mullein becomes incredibly versatile — perfect for teas, balms, salves, smudges, and more, all supporting daily health and wellness.

💙 A Little About Mullein’s Wellness Benefits Mullein has been used for generations for its gentle yet effective supportive properties. Many people use it to help with:

• Respiratory wellness — soothing the lungs and supporting easier breathing

• Inflammation support — both internally (tea) and externally (balms/salves)

• Immune support — especially during the colder months

This plant continues to teach me so much, and each test brings us more clarity, more knowledge, and more options to share across As We Grow With Purpose. The ripples of love and wellness start with simple actions — one plant, one harvest, one test at a time.
