Did You Know? - Feverfew

 

If I told you that “in Europe, feverfew outsells aspirin as an anti-migraine treatment” (source) would you believe me? For some people, this statistic might come as a shock but for herbal enthusiasts and history buffs it makes sense and I’ll tell you why. Since antiquity, feverfew has been used medicinally and the name itself is derived from “the Latin word febrifugia [which means] ‘fever reducer’” (source). Presently, feverfew is mainly used to help soothe migraine headaches. Throughout feverfew’s long history it has also been used to help: 

  • Arthritis 
  • Toothaches 
  • Indigestion 
  • Insect repellent 

Feverfew can be recognized by its flowers and long stem. The flowers have “a central disc of yellow florets surrounded by white ray florets” (source) that resemble daisies. The 6-foot stem is armed with alternating leaves. Feverfew has been able to flourish and grow in North America because of its perennial ability to grow back after winter. In our personal experience, we have seen dried feverfew leaves added to water help resolve migraines in a pinch. Try our dried feverfew tea today to upgrade your health routine!

Did You Know? - Nettle/Stinging Nettle

 

You should love nettle! Nettle which is also known as stinging nettle is notoriously recognized by the public as a herb that gets in the way of hikes, bikes and nature walks because of its stinging properties that occur when you touch or brush up on it. What is not known is its deep and rich history as not only a herb used for medicinal treatment but also a fiber that “was said to be as fine as silk” (source). In North America the indigenous people utilized Nettle to help with:

  • Acne 
  • Eczema
  • Diarrhea 
  • Intestinal worms 
  • Urinary tract infections

The nettle fiber was an asset in World War 1 to the Norwegian, Germans and Scottish because of its use for “cord, fishing line and sail cloth” (source). Modernly, nettle is still utilized in some of the traditional ways its was used by the indigenous people like treating urinary tract infections and eczema. Beyond that, nettle is now also used for high blood pressure and to help non-cancerous prostate enlargement. In order to remove the stinging aspect of nettle that plagues so many nature enthusiasts, it needs to be dried in a dark area. Our dried stinging nettle tea is “rich in vitamins and minerals” (source)  and is the perfect addition to your daily health routine.
