Coltsfoot

One of the nicknames of the coltsfoot - 'drives away coughs, is frost flower’ and that says quite a lot about the properties of this flower which pops up from the ground we thought was still in the hard grip of winter.

It used to be one of the remedies used in folk medicine. It protected the mucous membranes, cured throat complaints and sores, and was also said to be an effective cure for rheumatism and stomach ache.
