Galium verum L., cut herb, from certified organic cultivation

Bedstraw belongs to the Rubiaceae family and is rather delicate and inconspicuous, making it one of the more unassuming herbs. True bedstraw (Galium verum) has yellow flowers and is not quite as common as white bedstraw, which has white flowers. True bedstraw is mainly found in meadows and moorland meadows, as well as at the edges of bushes and paths. True bedstraw is very easy to recognize by its golden yellow petals, which are arranged in panicles and smell slightly of honey.

The edible parts of the plant include the flowers, the needle-shaped leaves, the stems, and the seeds. Its mild flavor makes it particularly suitable as a salad base. It can also be added to soups and vegetable dishes and cooked like spinach.

But true bedstraw is not only used in the kitchen. In folk medicine, too, true bedstraw is said to have positive properties.

The reason for these positive properties are its constituents, which include essential oils, coumarins, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and silicic acid.

These ingredients and properties mean that bedstraw is mainly used to treat diarrhea, eczema, ulcers, skin inflammations and skin problems, as well as high cholesterol levels.

Bedstraw is best taken in the form of tea.

2 gehäufte Teelöffel Labkraut mit 1/4l kaltem Wasser übergießen und zum Sieden erhitzen. Ansatz 2 Minuten kochen, erkalten lassen und anschließend abseihen. 2-3 Tassen pro Tag können von diesem Tee getrunken werden. Der Tee kann auch in Form eines Umschlags gebraucht werden bei schlechtheilenden Wunden oder Sonnenbrand. Ebenso sehr wirksam ist ein Labkraut-Bad. Hierzu nehmen sie 100g des Labkrauts auf 3l Wasser und lassen dieses für 5 Minuten auskochen. Anschließend abseihen und dem Vollbad zusetzen.
