Knotweed Herb (Common Knotgrass) 50g, Horst
Description:
Common knotweed (also known as bird knotgrass or Polygonum aviculare) is a biologically active food supplement with diuretic, choleretic, and spasmolytic properties. It’s particularly effective for the urinary system; in official medicine, it’s used to help pass small kidney and bladder stones. Rich in tannins and flavonoids, knotweed offers a wide range of potential benefits. Traditional medicine utilizes it for respiratory ailments (bronchitis, whooping cough, tuberculosis, hoarseness), gastrointestinal issues (flatulence, irregular bowel movements, ulcers, colic), as a nervous system calmer (treating nervous exhaustion, headaches), and for weight management. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties and may inhibit tumor growth. Knotweed may also contribute to a gradual reduction in blood pressure. Externally, a knotweed decoction can strengthen hair.
