The name of this herb means 'cough stopper' and has been used for that very reason for millennia. Coltsfoot clears mucous from the lungs, soothes lung tissue and stops wheezing.
Coltsfoot is restricted in Australia and therefore is not sold for internal consumption.
Legally in Australia Coltsfoot cannot be taken as a tea but it can be smoked which is reported to help with coughs. Outside of Australia, Coltsfoot can be taken as a tea.
