Coltsfoot Leaves, 50g

Title: Coltsfoot Leaves (50g) – Herbal Remedy for Coughs & Respiratory Health

Description: Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara), also known as coughwort, sonchus, or butterbur, offers a wealth of traditional uses. Its leaves are prized for their soothing properties, traditionally used in infusions and decoctions to alleviate respiratory ailments like bronchitis, tracheitis, laryngitis, and whooping cough, particularly those accompanied by a persistent cough and difficult-to-remove phlegm. Externally, coltsfoot leaf preparations have been traditionally applied to treat skin conditions such as trophic ulcers, eczema, and infected wounds. In folk medicine, coltsfoot is broadly used for respiratory issues, coughs, and bronchitis, as well as gastrointestinal inflammation, diarrhea, kidney and bladder problems, and edema. Fresh leaves can be used as compresses or poultices for rheumatism, arthritis, boils, and minor ulcerations.

Preparation: Steep or boil 20g of leaves in 1 cup of water. Take 1 tablespoon every 3 hours.

Caution: Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 2, or individuals with known allergies. Consult a healthcare professional before use.
