Thanks for the great ideas, Jenni! We love mullein for respiratory and ear infections, but I hadn’t known that it would help for mastitis! I get swollen glands in my throat during allergy season, so I wonder if a mullein compress and/or tea would help with that. I know burdock is a good one for glands, too, so maybe I’ll try those two together…
My hubby uses lobelia for his occasional asthma attacks (along with clary sage), so we always have that on hand, too. I’m glad to know of another use for it.
I know lavender oil kills bacteria and eases pain, but what does the wild orange oil do? I know you’re an herbalist (I’m really enjoying exploring your blog!), so I’d love to hear what you know about it. 
All I have is sweet orange oil.
