Never heard of it, but after reading about it, I'm going to give it a go on myself, it sounds good!

I have, I'm not sure if that it actually made any difference. More of a placebo for the owner

Mine is asthmatic, and yes I've used it. I used a dessertspoonful (or "handful" if you don't want to be scientific!) and made a tea with it. Steeped it overnight, and the next morning tipped the liquid (not the leaves) into a water-trug. We regularly do a "water buffet" for ours - and this was one trug which was available - we always ensure a trug of clean/fresh water is available for them. We've also used salty-water, as well as minty, turmeric, and cinnamon. We leave them to choose what they want/need.
My pony (profile pic) no;ticeably self-medicated with the mullein-tea trug, I caught her drinking at it quite often. Did it help her? Hard to say, but if she self-medicated I reckon she knew it was good for her.
This Spring/Summer I will be trying it again, deffo.
