Leonotis leonurus, commonly known as Wilde Dagga or Lion’s Tail, is a traditional South African botanical used in herbal and ethnomedicinal practice. It has been used in local traditions for relaxation, chest comfort, coughs, colds, stomach cramps, body aches and general wellness routines. Wilde Dagga is also used externally in traditional preparations for irritated skin, insect-bite comfort and minor skin concerns. This botanical should not be treated as cannabis and is best used thoughtfully in tea, infusion or external preparations rather than for smoking or recreational use.

♡ Why we love it: Wilde Dagga has a strong South African botanical heritage and a distinctive place in traditional wellness routines. It is valued for its calming, chest-support and digestive-comfort associations, as well as its use in external soothing preparations.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
