Fight infections, fevers and sore throats with Pelargonium sidoides. Commonly known as African Geranium, Pelargonium sidoides is a powerful botanical native to southern Africa - especially Lesotho, South Africa, and parts of Zimbabwe. Its roots have been used for hundreds of years by the Zulu, Basotho, Xhosa, and other traditional medicine systems to support chest ailments like coughs, colds, and bronchitis; digestive troubles such as diarrhoea and stomach upset; and general wellbeing for wounds, fevers, fatigue, and bouncing back from illness. It was introduced to Europe in the late 19th century as “Umckaloabo,” where it gained recognition for treatment of tuberculosis.
♡ Why we love it: Pelargonium Sidoides is dense in compounds like cumarins, phenols, tannins, and essential oils. Together they support its traditional profile of respiratory support, boosting immunity, and digestive ease - even being used for dysentery. In skincare, African Geranium extract is used for its antimicrobial, astringent, and calming effects. It adds a natural earthy scent to creams and gels while helping with small wounds, sores, redness, irritation, and eruptions.
Size: 75g.
Uses & benefits
• Respiratory infections like bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia, tonsillitis and rhinopharyngitis
• It is often used as an alternative to antibiotics
• Acute and chronic ear, nose and throat infections
• Rapid improvement in the symptoms associated with colds and flu
• Analgesic (absence of pain) effect
While most other cough, cold and sinus medications simply mask outward symptoms, the mechanisms and actions of Pelargonium sidoides actually support faster recovery. Clinical trials show that Pelargonium sidoides shortens the duration and reduces the severity of upper respiratory irritations. If drinking tea it can be made 3 times daily with one teaspoon of herb.
For your safety
- Do not use during pregnancy and breast-feeding
- Those with auto-immune conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or other conditions should not use Pelargonium
