Title: Bistort Herb (Polygonum bistorta) – 100g

Product Description:

Bistort herb (Polygonum bistorta), also known as snakeweed or Easter-grass, has a rich history in traditional medicine, particularly for addressing hemorrhoids. The name itself originates from the Old Russian word “pochechuy,” referring to hemorrhoids, highlighting its long-standing use in treating this condition. While modern medicine offers various treatments, Bistort continues to be valued for its natural properties.

This 100g pack of high-quality Bistort herb provides the aerial parts of the plant, ready for use in various preparations. Its versatility allows for diverse applications, including:

Internal Use:

Infused as a tea (decoction or infusion), Bistort offers gentle laxative effects, helpful for constipation, and demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antibacterial actions. It may also provide relief from stomach cramps and support digestive health. A typical preparation involves steeping one tablespoon in 250ml of hot water for 30 minutes, straining, and consuming 100ml three to four times daily for 7-10 days. For prolonged use (beyond 10 days), consider incorporating blood-thinning herbs such as clover, horse chestnut flowers, or melilot, to maintain a healthy blood flow.

External Use:

A stronger decoction or infusion can be applied topically as compresses, rinses, sitz baths, douches, and washes. This is particularly beneficial for skin conditions such as hemorrhoids, allergic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and ringworm. It can also be used as a mouthwash to strengthen gums and alleviate symptoms of periodontal disease and stomatitis.
