Remedy 457-13: Mullein Tea
For Varicose Veins
DESCRIPTION
Mullein tea was typically suggested by Edgar Cayce
for improving circulation, especially through the urinary tract and lower
limbs. Thus, mullein tea was a standard recommendation for the treatment
of varicose veins.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Mullein tea may be helpful for varicose veins and
similar conditions involving poor circulation.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
No known contraindications.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Take two to three ounces of mullein tea every other
day. For fresh mullein tea follow the directions listed below in
reading 457-13. If fresh mullein is not available, dried mullein
may be used as a tea as described in reading 5037-1: Place a pinch of dried
mullein between thumb and forefinger, put in a cup and pour boiling water
over same, allowing to set for thirty minutes. Strain off, cool and
drink just about two-thirds of a cup, daily.
CAYCE QUOTE ON REMEDY 457-13
If there will be the walking, and not merely standing
or resting, and the taking of a small quantity of Mullein Tea every other
day, these [varicose veins] will disappear - and this disturbance will
disappear. The therapeutic reaction is to better circulation - through
the kidneys, especially as related to the lower limbs.
Prepare the Mullein Tea in this manner: Bruise
the fresh Mullein Leaves and some of the flower, especially at this period
of the year. Use about two ounces (in quantity, not in weight) to
about a quart of water. Let this steep as tea. Take two or three
ounces every other day; it may be taken twice during that day, but this
is the quantity to be consumed during the day, see? Keep it in a
cool place, and make fresh almost each time it is used, see?
