Type: Coltsfoot Leaf.
Color: Green.
Process: dry Coltsfoot leaf, cut, and sifted.
Coltsfoot is a wayside perennial herb that thrives in poor conditions. It is a member of the Asteraceae (formerly Compositae) family, which includes daisy, sunflower, and aster. It resembles a small dandelion when in flower, although a unique characteristic that sets it apart from other daisy-like plants and also explains its common name is the heart shape of the leaf, which resembles a horseshoe or a colt's foot. Another interesting feature of this plant is that the seeds set before the leaves even appear so that the flowers, which emerge in early spring, seem to be perched atop bare stems.
Native to Asia and Europe and later introduced to North and South America, Coltsfoot is considered a nuisance weed and invasive species in some areas.
BENEFITS: Coltsfoot has a long history of use in treating coughs associated with asthma, bronchitis, and other upper respiratory disorders. In fact, the genus name "Tussilago" means "cough dispeller." The 17th-century English herbalist Nicholas Culpeper extolled the virtues of coltsfoot when he wrote: "The fresh leaves, or juice, or syrup thereof, is good for a bad dry cough or wheezing and shortness of breath. The dry leaves are best for those who have their rheums and distillations upon their lungs causing a cough: for which also the dried leaves taken as tobacco, or the root is very good. The distilled water hereof simply or with elderflowers or nightshade is a singularly good remedy against all agues, to drink 2 OZ. at a time and apply cloths wet therein to the head and stomach, which also does much good being applied to any hot swellings or inflammations. It helpeth St. Anthony's fire (erysypelas) and burnings, and is singular good to take away wheals."
At one time, the British Pharmacopeia included an entry for Syrup of Coltsfoot and recommended the remedy for chronic bronchitis. In combination with rosemary, chamomile, thyme, lavender, betony, and eyebright, coltsfoot was featured in the formula for "British Herb Tobacco." British physicians at that time recommended smoking this blend to prevent asthma attacks.
CAUTION: Do not use during pregnancy. Because pyrrolizidine alkaloids may trigger premature labor, this herb should not be used at all during pregnancy.
