Pimpinella saxifraga L., cut root, certified organic cultivation

Bittercress is a rather inconspicuous meadow herb whose use as a medicinal herb was particularly significant during the plague. It was said that drinking bittercress tea would protect you from the plague.
Nowadays, burnet, which belongs to the umbellifer family and is native to Europe, Asia, and the Caucasus, is once again being used as a medicinal plant. This applies to both greater burnet (Pimpinella major L.) and lesser burnet (Pimpinella saxifraga L.).

How does burnet work?

Bittercress has been used as a medicinal plant since the 16th century. As already mentioned, it was mainly used as a remedy for the plague at that time. Bittercress owes its healing properties to its roots and the health-promoting ingredients they contain. These include, in particular:

·         Essential oils
·         Tannins
·         Saponins
·         Polyacetylenes
·         Coumarins

The plant's ingredients have anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and digestive properties, among others. For this reason, burnet can be used very effectively as a home remedy for bronchitis, asthma, or sore throats. In addition, it is said to help with indigestion, gallstones, kidney and bladder stones, menstrual cramps, and heartburn.

Bibernelle Top bei Erkältung und Halsentzündungen

Artikel wie beschrieben! Kaufabwicklung gut! Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gut! Bibernelle Top bei Erkältung und Halsentzündungen, jedoch musste ich ihn für meine Kinder mit Saft mischen, da es ein penetranter Geschmack ist.
