Vervain Tablets, 390 mg Active Ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 390 mg What is True Vervain (Verbena officinalis)? Vervain is found in both temperate and tropical regions around the world. This herbaceous plant is native to large parts of Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The traditional medicinal herb prefers to grow along hedgerows, paths, and rubble sites, thriving in sunny, sheltered locations with sandy loam or clay soil. With a growth height of up to 75 cm and its small pink, blue, or violet flowers, vervain may seem modest at first glance—but it is extremely resilient. This concentrated plant power was already appreciated in ancient times and used especially for healing stab wounds caused by iron weapons. That’s how the plant got its name: vervain ("Eisenkraut" = "iron herb"). We use only finely ground true vervain for our products, as this is where the most potent spectrum of active compounds is found. As always with Phönix der Lebenskraft, we source exclusively from ecologically valuable cultivation and ensure the highest standards of quality and purity. True Vervain Has a Long Tradition Vervain has a long-standing history of use. In addition to wound healing, ancient therapists valued vervain for many other benefits. It was also traditionally used for fever, coughs, colds, sore throats, and skin rashes. In traditional European medicine, vervain’s scope was expanded further—to include heart complaints, exhaustion, and joint pain. Healers and physicians believed that Verbena officinalis could even help harmonize the digestive organs (especially the liver and gallbladder) and support their daily function. What’s Inside: Despite its name, vervain does not actually contain iron. Instead, this traditional medicinal herb offers a broad spectrum of plant compounds, such as: Essential oils Tannins Alkaloids (believed to positively affect mood) Bitter compounds (may stimulate digestive secretions) Flavonoids (known as powerful antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals) Silica Vervain Tablets Free from Harmful Additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colorings, no flavorings, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten.

California Poppy Tincture (1:4) What is California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)? As the name suggests, the California Poppy belongs to the poppy family. Like all poppies, its yellow to orange blossoms consist of four petals and numerous stamens. Native to North America, the California Poppy can grow up to 60 cm tall. It was first documented in 1816 by the Berlin naturalist Adelbert von Chamisso, who brought seeds back to Europe and named the plant after his travel companion Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz — thus the botanical name Eschscholzia californica was born. Over time, other common names also emerged, such as Golden Poppy, Cup of Gold, or Sleepy Poppy. The names "Cup of Gold" and "Sleepy Poppy" derive from the two calyx leaves that enclose the flower. Just before blooming, this cap splits open at the base and gradually falls away. The Sleepy Poppy thrives in nutrient-rich soils and feels most at home in open grasslands. Its vibrant blossoms can only be admired in sunny weather, typically between 10 am and 5 pm. For our products, we use only ground herb from high-quality organic cultivation. The Most Important Medicinal Plant of Native Americans In Europe, California Poppy is sometimes labeled as a poisonous plant, but in its native land, it has long been valued for its healing properties. For centuries, the Golden Poppy has been a key part of traditional Native American medicine. It was used not only as a remedy for headaches and toothaches but also as a powerful sleep aid and calming agent. Native peoples also gave it to children to ease sleep disturbances and nervous excitability. Other traditional uses included stomach pain relief, wound cleansing, and protection against parasites and mosquitoes.

Chamomile Tincture (1 : 4) What Are True Chamomile Flowers? Chamomile is arguably the best-known medicinal plant in the German-speaking world. Everyone is familiar with the soothing effects of chamomile tea. But what exactly is true chamomile? As you might expect, there are several types of chamomile. True chamomile is botanically known as Matricaria recutita. The word "matricaria" comes from Latin and means "mother," referring to its historical use for women’s ailments. "Chamomilla" derives from Greek and literally means "little apple," a name inspired by the plant’s distinctive fragrance, which faintly resembles that of apples. Originally native to Southern and Eastern Europe and Western Asia, true chamomile is now found throughout Europe, North America, and even Australia as an invasive plant. Its appearance is reminiscent of a daisy, with countless white ray florets encircling a yellow flower head. However, true chamomile can grow up to 50 cm tall and has feathery leaves and branched stems that distinguish it from daisies. Matricaria recutita requires loose, nutrient-rich soil, typically found in fields and along roadsides. At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we recognize our responsibility to people and the environment. That's why we use only chamomile blossoms from ecologically responsible cultivation. The World’s Most Famous Medicinal Plant Chamomile flowers played an important role even in ancient times. The ancient Germanic peoples dedicated the plant to their god of light, Baldur, while the Egyptians believed it was a flower of divine power. They called Matricaria recutita "the flower of the sun god Ra." This reverence clearly shows how valued the plant was. In ancient Greece, it was used to treat skin issues, bloating, and cramps. The Germanic peoples used it for bladder issues, and the Egyptians considered it a remedy for strengthening the gums. In folk medicine, chamomile blossoms have been and are still used today to relieve spasmodic gastrointestinal issues and support the respiratory system. Traditional herbalists also value chamomile for its calming effect on nervous tension and anxiety.

California Poppy Tablets, 330 mg active ingredient Tablet size → 16 mm * 8 mm Active ingredient per tablet → 330 mg What is California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)? As the name suggests, the California Poppy belongs to the poppy family. Like all poppy species, its yellow to orange flowers consist of four petals and numerous stamens. Originally native to North America, the California Poppy can grow up to 60 cm tall. It was first described in 1816 by the Berlin naturalist Adelbert von Chamisso, who brought seeds back to Europe and named the plant after his travel companion Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz. This gave rise to the botanical name Eschscholzia californica. Over time, other common names have appeared, such as Golden Poppy, Cup of Gold, or Sleepy Poppy. The latter names come from the two calyx leaves that enclose the flower. Shortly before blooming, this "cap" splits at the base and falls away. The Sleepy Poppy prefers nutrient-rich soils and thrives particularly well in open grasslands. Its radiant blossoms are visible only in sunny weather and usually only between 10 am and 5 pm. For our products, we use exclusively ground herb from certified organic cultivation. The Most Important Medicinal Plant of Native Americans In Europe, California Poppy is often regarded as a poisonous plant, but in its homeland, it has long been valued for its healing powers. For centuries, Golden Poppy has been a staple in Native American medicine. It was used not only as a pain reliever for headaches and toothaches but also as a highly effective sleep aid and calming remedy. Native tribes also administered it to children to help with sleep disturbances and nervous overstimulation. Other traditional uses included stomach pain relief, wound cleansing, and protection against parasites and mosquitoes.
