Coltsfoot Tincture (Tussilago farfara) – For Cough and Asthma – Monastic Recipe

Description

Properties:

Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara), also known as Coughwort, is a herbaceous, perennial plant with yellow flowers resembling small daisies. It thrives in moist soils, primarily in Europe and northern Asia. In our country, it is commonly found in spring at high altitudes. Its flowers have a pleasant aroma and a sweet, aromatic taste. They contain arnidol, faradiol, tannin, mucilage, flavonoids, taraxanthin, and essential oil.

Coltsfoot has been known since ancient times, primarily as a remedy for respiratory problems. The Greek physician Dioscorides, as well as Hippocrates, recommended it for the treatment of chronic cough, catarrh, sore throat, bronchitis, and asthma. Its expectorant and soothing properties are attributed to the saponins, flavonoids, and other valuable compounds it contains. It is also used to alleviate arthritic and rheumatic pains, as well as toothaches.

What is a Tincture:

The tincture is created by steeping herbs in an alcoholic solution, usually for a period of a few weeks. During this, the active ingredients of the herbs dissolve in the alcoholic solution. This specific process results in the tincture retaining all the beneficial properties of the herbs to the fullest.

Herbal drops are highly concentrated herbal extracts in a natural alcoholic solution. They retain all their active ingredients and are completely natural.

Dosage:

15-20 drops in water twice a day for a month. Take a break for ten days and repeat. Shake before use.

Precautions:

Avoid use by children under 12 years of age, during pregnancy, breastfeeding and medication.

Ingredients:
