There are ancient natural remedies, which have been handed down to the present day. But above all that they have properties now recognized by science and that are used in phytotherapy and as a basis for numerous supplements.
This is precisely the case of the plant we will talk about today: the pilosella. Pilosella is a spontaneous plant famous for its positive effects on water retention and for its ability to reduce intestinal gas. But, while important, these are not its only properties.
In fact, pilosella seems to have excellent anti-inflammatory and soothing properties on respiratory symptoms such as asthma and cough. In addition, it could prove to be really useful for increasing the secretion of bile from the liver and for fighting urinary tract infections.
A plant with a thousand properties, but which must always be treated with care. Especially by allergic subjects or by those who are not very tolerant of plants of the same family, such as chrysanthemums and daisies.
But if we do not have allergy problems and the doctor gives us the ok, we can safely go to the herbalist’s shop and buy our precious pilosella.
How to use the pilosella and exploit its properties
The best way to exploit the properties of the pilosella is to use the leaves to prepare an herbal tea. Let’s boil a saucepan with water and add, when it boils, a teaspoon of leaves. We cover and leave to infuse for about 8-10 minutes. After this time we can filter the mixture and drink, possibly away from meals.
If we barely tolerate the bitter taste of the herbal tea, we can add a teaspoon of organic honey after filtering it.
