Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Nine-leaved dogwood (Petasites Hybridus), also known as Tussilago hybrida L., Tussilago petasites L. or Petasites officinalis Moench, is a perennial herb belonging to the star family. This plant is considered a weed, however, it is mainly used medicinally. Nine-o'clock is characterised by large basal leaves and fragrant flowers growing from a dense rhizome. It is native to northern Europe, but is now widespread throughout the world.
Dewdrop is traditionally used in various medicinal preparations. Its rhizomes and leaves are rich in glycosides, flavonoids, tannins and magnesium, which have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Devetsil is used for the treatment of migraines, headaches, asthma and allergies. Extracts of ninetsil are also included in some cosmetic products such as skin creams and masks, as the active ingredients from this plant have the ability to nourish and regenerate the skin. In gastronomy, the leaves of the nine-leaf plant are used as a vegetable. However, it must be stressed that the nine-leafed plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be toxic to the liver and should therefore be used with caution and always under the supervision of a specialist.
