Mullein Steam

From the book: "When your nose and sinuses are congested and your cough won’t quit, try a soothing mullein steam. Warm, moist, and comforting, a steam goes to the heart of the issue to clear out the gunk and help you breathe easy again."
Ingredients: 
1 cup dried mullein leaf
2 Tbsp dried bee balm (monarda) (optional)
2 Tbsp dried sage (optional)
1 gallon water

​Suitable for older children and adults only, due to the presence of hot liquid so close to the face and hands.
Instructions: 
  1. Combine all ingredients with the water in a large cooking pot. Be careful not to inhale the mullein dust, which can be irritating to the lungs.
  2. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, and then remove from heat and allow to steep (covered) for an additional 5 minutes. 
To use: 
Place a small, stable cooking pot on a folded towel or hot pad on a sturdy table. (Ensure
that the bowl is level and stable before filling.) Transfer several cups of hot liquid into the bowl. (No need to strain.) Create a tent over your head using a large bath towel, and then carefully lower your face to a safe distance above the steaming bowl of water. Inhale the soothing steam.

​Exercise caution, as you will be leaning over a pot of hot liquid, and burns are possible.
