Discover the medicinal benefits of Cynoglossum officinale, also known as Hound's Tongue or Gypsy Flower. This herbaceous plant, part of the Boraginaceae family, produces reddish-purple funnel-shaped flowers between May and September. Its leaves have been used for centuries in traditional medicine as they contain allantoin, a highly effective agent that speeds up the healing process in the body. While caution should be applied as large doses taken internally can result in narcotic effects, hound's tongue has a long history of use as a medicinal herb. This plant grows in wet places, sand dunes, waste land, and hedges across most parts of Europe and North America. Want to experience the benefits of hound's tongue?
