What's Inside Verdaflow: A Guide to Our Four Botanicals
Share
Verdaflow is built around four plants with long histories in traditional herbalism. Here's a closer look at each one: where it grows, what part is used, and why herbalists have valued it for generations.
Cleavers (Galium aparine)
If you've ever walked through a British hedgerow and found little green burrs stuck to your clothes, you've met cleavers. Also known as “sticky willy” or goosegrass, it grows across Europe and the UK in spring. The aerial parts (the leaves and stems above ground) have been used in European folk herbalism for centuries, often steeped as a spring tonic.
Red Clover Blossom (Trifolium pratense)
Red clover is a familiar meadow flower with round, pinkish-purple heads. It's a member of the pea family and has been part of traditional herbal practice in Europe and beyond for hundreds of years. The flower heads are the part used in herbal preparations.
Prickly Ash Bark (Zanthoxylum)
Prickly ash is a shrub native to North America, named for the sharp prickles on its branches. It's related to the plant that gives Sichuan pepper its tingle. Its bark has a long history of use in traditional North American herbal practice.
Stillingia Root (Stillingia sylvatica)
Also called queen's root or queen's delight, stillingia is a perennial plant found in the sandy soils of the south-eastern United States. Its root has been used in traditional North American herbal blends since the 1800s.
Why a blend?
Traditional herbalists often combine plants rather than using one on its own. Verdaflow brings these four together in a simple liquid extract that's easy to add to your day.
