Cephalaria bidens

Cephalaria bidens, also known as the scabious or mountain scabious, is a flowering plant species native to the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia.

It has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating various respiratory issues such as bronchitis and asthma, due to its expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects.

The plant has been found to have health benefits including reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and acting as an antiseptic.

Cephalaria bidens can be prepared as an infusion, tincture, or ointment, and is often used in herbal medicine to treat a range of conditions, including respiratory and skin issues.
