Coltsfoot Leaf

Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) has powerful antioxidants that help alleviate free radicals and prevent oxidative stress that can lead to chronic disease. Coltsfoot is well known for its ability to treat diseases of the respiratory system such as bronchitis, asthma, whooping cough, and laryngitis. Coltsfoot contains mucilage, a substance which coats the throat and effectively soothes the respiratory tract, helping to soothe coughs and facilitate the passage of phlegm. Coltsfoot additionally has astringent and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation and irritation of the mucous membranes.
