Country of Origin: Albania
Coltsfoot or Tussilago
Tussilago is traditionally used in cases of bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma, cough, emphysema and generally in respiratory diseases, as it contains a mucous substance which soothes the throat, dissolves mucus and phlegm and cleanses the respiratory tract.
Tussilago has anti-inflammatory properties and can even be applied on the skin to soothe arthritic and rheumatic pains.
The antiseptic properties of this herb protect wounds from external pathogenic microorganisms. It can also be applied on insect bites.
CAUTION! Tussilago or coltsfoot should be avoided during pregnancy
