Leonotis leonurus (Wilde Dagga) Dried - 75g

INCI: Leonotis leonurus

Calm down, relieve and soothe inside and out with Wilde Dagga. Native to South Africa and other parts of southern Africa, Wilde Dagga is also known as Lion’s Tail thanks to its bright orange flowers shaped like a lion’s tail. It was, and still is, widely celebrated in South African ethnomedicine by Khoisan, Zulu, Xhosa, and other communities. Traditionally, the leaves and flowers were smoked as a calming herb, or brewed as a tea to support colds, bronchitis, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, and constipation, as well as to boost general wellbeing for fevers, headaches, high blood pressure, and even snakebites.

♡ Why we love it: While Wilde Dagga doesn’t carry the psychoactive properties of marijuana, it’s rich in active compounds - including diterpenoids, terpenes, phenols, alkaloids, and essential oils. These give the herb its soothing profile, including characteristics like supporting the chest, easing coughs, calming tightness, and aiding digestion. It’s also valued for its relaxing qualities, experienced as a mild sedative and very gently euphoric.

Its extracts have been applied to reduce inflammation and offer antimicrobial support for skin eruptions, wounds, and insect bites. Traditionally, ointments made with Wilde Dagga were used to ease eczema, itchiness, and other minor wounds.

Size: 75g.
