Pelargonium Sidoides, also known as Umckaloabo or South African geranium, is a traditional southern African botanical used in respiratory, immune and recovery-support routines. It is especially associated with chesty coughs, colds, sore throats, sinus comfort, bronchitis-style seasonal support and post-illness wellbeing. The source notes that the roots have been used traditionally, and this herb is also valued for tannins, phenols, coumarins and aromatic compounds that contribute to its earthy, astringent profile.

♡ Why we love it: Pelargonium sidoides has deep roots in southern African traditional wellness practice. It is a useful seasonal herb for throat, chest and immune-support routines when used carefully and appropriately.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
