Tall Mulla Mulla is an Australian flower remedy made from Ptilotus exaltatus. It stimulates social interaction, promotes relaxation and is an adjunct in the treatment of asthma, sinusitis, allergies. Let’s find out better.


Description of the plant

Ptilotus exaltatus – Belonging to the Amaranthaceae family, the genus Ptilotus is one of the most widespread species in Australia, where we find about 130 species of the 900 present in the world. The Mulla Mulla used by Ian White in the preparation of the flower essence prefer the rocky soils of the inland dry areas of the continent.

The name of the species, exaltatus, from the Latin ‘tall’, well represents the plant which reaches even 1.5 meters in height. The large erect stem can be branched or simple and is hairless (no hair). The fleshy and pointed leaves, alternating, oblong and lanceolate, gray-green in color, are larger at the base of the plant than those on the stem and are excellent to add to salads and can reach 20 cm in length and 7 cm in width .

The flower heads, conical-cylindrical and purple-pink in color, bloom in spring and early summer, are 20 cm long and 4.5 cm wide. The individual flowers are thickly covered with long silky hairs and the stamens are crimson, and the inflorescence has a soft, fluffy appearance that creates a beautiful effect in the desert landscape, when they appear in spots and surrender to the wind, swaying: just like the Tall Mulla Mulla people bending to the wind of the situation, doing whatever it takes to maintain peace, harmony.
