Coltsfoot Leaf (Tussilago Farfara)
Deep respiratory support — the leaf that clears, soothes, and strengthens the lungs.
While coltsfoot flowers are prized for soothing coughs, the leaves offer a deeper, more sustained respiratory action. Rich in mucilage, zinc, and anti-inflammatory compounds, coltsfoot leaf works to clear congestion, strengthen lung tissue, and support recovery from chronic respiratory conditions including bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema.
