Leonotis leonurus Powder, also known as Wilde Dagga or Lion’s Tail, is a powdered traditional South African botanical used in herbal and ethnomedicinal practice. It has a long history of use by Khoisan, Zulu, Xhosa and other communities for relaxation, chest comfort, coughs, colds, digestive cramps, diarrhoea, constipation and general wellbeing. Wilde Dagga is also used externally in traditional preparations for insect bites, itchiness, irritated skin and minor skin eruptions. It is not cannabis and should not be used for smoking or recreational purposes.

♡ Why we love it: Wilde Dagga powder is a practical format for careful infusions, external washes and traditional-style preparations. It brings a distinctly local botanical story and a useful soothing profile to informed herbal routines.
