Coltsfoot – Tussilago farfara

Coltsfoot is a mucilage-rich herb renowned for its cough-soothing and cough-suppressing properties.

It forms a protective coating on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, reducing the sensitivity of cough receptors and shielding the tissues from mechanical irritation.

It has a calming effect on irritated mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and larynx, providing relief in cases of dry, persistent cough.

The compound tussilagon, found in coltsfoot, positively influences the nervous system, helping to protect nerve cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.

Additionally, studies have shown potential anti-cancer properties, making coltsfoot a valuable herb not only in respiratory care but also in broader supportive therapy.
