Tussilagine is a natural alkaloid compound found in plants such as Tussilago farfara (coltsfoot), which has traditionally been used to treat respiratory ailments. It exhibits bronchodilator, anti-inflammatory, and antitussive properties, making it effective for relieving coughs, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. Tussilagine works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, reducing inflammation, and soothing the throat, which helps alleviate coughing and improve breathing. Its mechanism involves the inhibition of inflammatory mediators and the enhancement of lung function, providing symptomatic relief for respiratory issues.
