(Tussilago farfara) is a traditional herb with a long history in Western herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and European folk medicine. Its Latin name, Tussilago, means “cough dispeller,” reflecting its primary use as a powerful respiratory remedy. The plant is especially valued for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and mucolytic properties.
1. Expectorant & Respiratory Soother
Clears mucus and phlegm from the lungs and bronchial tubes.
Relieves dry, irritable coughs and supports productive expectoration in wet coughs.
Traditionally used for:
Bronchitis
Asthma
Whooping cough
Laryngitis
Emphysema
Smoker’s cough
2. Demulcent (Soothes Mucous Membranes)
Rich in mucilage, which coats and soothes irritated throat, bronchial passages, and digestive lining.
Especially effective in cases of dry, hoarse throat and scratchy coughs.
Also soothes inflammation in the urinary and digestive tracts.
3. Anti-Inflammatory
Contains flavonoids and phenolic acids that reduce inflammation in the lungs, throat, and joints.
May aid in joint stiffness, rheumatism, or inflammatory skin conditions.
4. Antitussive (Cough-Relieving)
Calms the cough reflex while still allowing for mucus clearance—ideal for tickling coughs or post-viral throat irritation.
Often used in combination with other herbs like licorice, marshmallow, mullein, or elecampane for balanced respiratory healing.
5. Mild Astringent
Can help tighten and tone tissues, supporting tissue repair in inflamed or relaxed mucosal surfaces.
Useful in diarrhea or runny nose when used appropriately.
