Coltsfoot Flower (Tussilago Farfara)

The lungs' oldest ally — traditional respiratory herb for coughs, bronchitis, and mucous relief.

Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) is one of Europe's oldest and most trusted respiratory herbs, used since ancient Greek and Roman times for its remarkable ability to soothe irritated airways, loosen mucous, and calm persistent coughs. Its mucilaginous compounds coat and protect the bronchial lining, while its anti-inflammatory flavonoids reduce airway inflammation.
