St. John's wort (Korovyak) Horst 50g ( коровяк )

Product Overview

Horst Vägihein (Common Mullein) 50 g is a traditional herbal tea ingredient made from dried Verbascum thapsus. It is chosen for a mild botanical infusion with a long history in European folk herbal practice. It is not a medicine, but a classic dried herb for those who appreciate simple plant‑based preparations.

Key Plant Components

What makes mullein interesting is its naturally occurring mix of plant compounds. The herb contains:

• Mucilaginous polysaccharides – form a soft, slightly soothing layer when steeped in hot water.
• Saponins
• Flavonoids
• Iridoid glycosides
• Tannins

In plain language, the infusion combines water‑soluble plant substances that give mullein its traditional character: some contribute to the texture of the tea, while others are valued in herbal traditions for their broad botanical activity. Warm preparation is important because steeping helps release these compounds into the infusion.

When to Choose Mullein

Mullein has one of the longest recorded histories among European herbs, with references going back to Ancient Greece and later folk practice across many regions. Today, Horst herbal mullein is a good fit for people who enjoy rotating single‑herb teas, prefer traditional dried botanicals over capsules, or want to include a classic herb in their seasonal herbal cupboard. It can be used as a warm evening infusion, as part of a simple plant‑focused regimen, or whenever you want a gentle herbal drink instead of ordinary tea.

How to Prepare and Use

A practical detail matters with this plant: mullein naturally has very fine hairs, and these should not end up in the finished drink. That is why the infusion must always be strained very carefully through a fine sieve, filter or cloth.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, it is sensible to check with a healthcare professional before use.
