Tussilago japonica
TCM warming herb for cold cough; flower buds used specifically for lung warming and cough suppressant.
Tussilago japonica, commonly known as coltsfoot, is a warming herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine used primarily for cold-induced cough and respiratory conditions. Its flower buds are valued for their antitussive, bronchodilator, and anti-inflammatory properties. Key active compounds include tussilagone, tussilagin, and terpene ketones, which contribute to its therapeutic effects.
Tussilagone acts as a potent antitussive by suppressing the cough reflex centrally and peripherally, and exhibits bronchodilator activity via beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonism. The saponins and inulin provide expectorant effects by increasing respiratory tract fluid secretion. Anti-inflammatory actions are mediated through inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB pathways, reducing airway inflammation. However, the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids raises concerns for hepatotoxicity with prolonged use.
