Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata) Tablets, 300 mg active ingredient Kalmegh tablets made from the ground herb Tablet size → 16 mm * 8 mm Active ingredient per tablet → 300 mg What is Kalmegh? Kalmegh, also known by its botanical name Andrographis paniculata, is often called the "King of Bitters". This upright plant, with its countless leaves and small white flowers, may appear modest at first sight. To many in the West, the bushy herb resembles a weed. However, in its native South and Southeast Asia, it is highly valued. The "King of Bitters" thrives in warm, humid environments and would not feel at home in our latitudes. Inspired by the traditions of TCM and Ayurveda, we use only the aerial parts of the plant for our products. According to Eastern traditions, the leaves, flowers, and stems contain the greatest potential. In keeping with our strict purity standards, we select only plants that meet our high-quality requirements. Kalmegh in Ayurveda and TCM Kalmegh contains an impressive variety of compounds such as diterpenes, xanthones, and norcardioides. These unique substances explain why the "King of Bitters" is so highly respected in India, Indonesia, China, and many other Asian countries. In Ayurveda, Kalmegh has been successfully used for over 2000 years and is mentioned in some of the oldest texts. Ayurvedic practitioners traditionally rely on Kalmegh for persistent coughs, colds, chronic fatigue, and digestive complaints. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Andrographis paniculata also plays an important role in strengthening the body’s defenses. It is primarily used to support the lung meridians and to reduce excess heat. TCM doctors and practitioners also employ Kalmegh in the treatment of various skin conditions. Andrographis paniculata is also familiar to many readers through the works of Stephen Harrod Buhner on Lyme disease.

The plant grows to about 30 cm and has specific preferences for its surroundings. Baikal skullcap likes stony coasts and river plains. It is also often found near streams.

Rhodiola Root Powder Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) powder made from the roots What is Rhodiola? The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name was long forgotten in Central Europe, although Rhodiola has played a significant role here since the 17th century. Rhodiola rosea, belonging to the Crassulaceae family, is mainly found in arctic regions and mountainous areas of Eurasia. The plant, which reaches a maximum height of 35 cm, is easily recognized as a succulent thanks to its characteristic leaves. Its small flowers grow in dense clusters and exude a captivating fragrance that clearly reveals its kinship with roses. Both the roots and stems release a rose-like aroma when cut, giving Rhodiola its name “rose root.” For the production of our powders and tablets, we rely on the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground Rhodiola roots. A large portion of these roots comes from wild collection in Russia, but we strive to source from controlled cultivation whenever possible to protect the wild populations. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet matters. The forgotten adaptogen In Scandinavia and Russia, Rhodiola has long been regarded as an extraordinary adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet effectively influence the body’s stress response and may help the organism develop greater resilience. In Siberia, Rhodiola is even called the “golden root,” underlining its high esteem. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance cognitive performance and memory and is also believed to support vitality and potency. The indigenous peoples of the Altai Mountains have also treasured Rhodiola, using it especially for persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support both mental and physical performance. This knowledge was once present in German-speaking regions as well. Rhodiola is mentioned in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and an effective remedy for headaches. Rhodiola contains valuable constituents such as phenolic glycosides (e.g. salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol), phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils. Ingredients Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) root powder Note We offer this powder as a plant-based raw material (food grade) without any specific intended use.

New Jersey Tea Root Tablets, 270 mg active ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 270 mg New Jersey Tea (Ceanothus americanus) tablets made from ground root bark What is New Jersey Tea (Ceanothus americanus)? Behind the charming name lies a shrub that can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and is originally native to North America. Its branches are softly hairy at the tips, otherwise smooth. The leaves of Ceanothus americanus are alternately arranged, with uneven, bluntly serrated edges. Particularly striking are the white, long-stalked blossoms of this traditional healing plant, which captivate with their soft and intoxicating fragrance. This might also explain why New Jersey Tea is increasingly popular as an ornamental plant. Being highly adaptable, the shrub thrives in many environments: coastal thickets, high mountain forests, and even semi-arid desert regions. We value quality above all else. That’s why we use only ground root bark for our tablets. The roots are harvested only after experiencing deep winter frost. Why? Because freezing allows the plant to fully develop its active constituents. Only then does the inner bark take on its characteristic bright red color, signaling peak potency. We also ensure sustainable cultivation and harvesting practices—because for us, true quality includes ecological responsibility. Traditional use of New Jersey Tea The Native American peoples have long relied on the power of New Jersey Tea, using it for centuries against coughs, colds, and joint discomfort. It was also traditionally applied to support the liver, spleen, and the entire respiratory system. According to herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner, this wide range of uses is not surprising. In his writings, he emphasizes that Ceanothus americanus supports the lymphatic system in a unique way. The lymphatic system acts as the body’s cleanup network, where white blood cells capture intruders and toxins, which are then transported away via the lymph. New Jersey Tea root stimulates and tones this system, thanks to its unique profile of constituents, including: Tannins (astringent compounds responsible for the bitter taste) Flavonoids Trace elements and minerals (iron, copper, magnesium, zinc) Proteins Interestingly, the leaves are still known in America as “New Jersey Tea,” originally used as a black tea substitute. New Jersey Tea Root Tablets without harmful additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavoring, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugar, no lactose, and no gluten. Ingredients IngredientContent per daily dose New Jersey Tea – ground root bark(Ceanothus americanus) approx. 1350 mg Also contains 2 common and safe cellulose-based excipients (MCC / HPMC) for tablet form stability (plant-based), plus a very small amount (trace percentage by weight) of the equally common and safe substance magnesium stearate. Recommended Use Take 5 tablets per day with sufficient liquid. It is best not to take all 5 tablets at once, but to spread them throughout the day (e.g., two in the morning, two at midday, and one in the evening) with sufficient liquid. Taking them before meals is preferable to after meals, as this may support better absorption—though this recommendation is not strict. Notes Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, and always keep out of the reach of children. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded.

Färberwaid ist eine Pflanze aus der Familie der Kreuzblütengewächse, die einzigartige Eigenschaften besitzt. Mit ihren blaugrünen Blättern und den gelben, rapsähnlichen Blüten wirkt der Färberwaid auf den ersten Blick recht unspektakulär. Doch allein die Tatsache, dass diese Pflanze eine enorme Anpassungsfähigkeit besitzt, sollte jeden aufhorchen lassen. Die Blaufärbung der Blätter stammt von einem natürlichen Wachsüberzug, der den Färberwaid vor Trockenheit schützt. Auf diese Weise ist der Färberwaid auch vor Hitze und Fäulnis geschützt - gleich drei Komponenten, die anderen Pflanzen das Leben schwer machen. Doch Isatis tinctoria trotzt Dürre, Hitze und zu viel Feuchtigkeit.

Keine Erfindung der Neuzeit Schon in der Eisenzeit spielte der Färberwaid eine große Rolle. Zur damaligen Zeit wurde die Pflanze vorrangig wegen der färbenden Eigenschaften geschätzt. Das wunderschöne Indigoblau erfreute schon damals die Menschheit. Auch als Heilpflanze kam der Färberwaid zum Einsatz. Seit über 3000 Jahren nutzt die traditionelle chinesische Medizin Färberwaidwurzeln unter dem Namen „Banlangen“ als Heilmittel. In der TCM gilt die Pflanze als hitzeklärend und hat einen Bezug zum Herz- und Magenmeridian. Erfahrene Therapeuten aus Fernost verordnen die Wurzeln noch heute bei Husten, Schnupfen, Fieber und gegen zahlreiche unerwünschte Eindringlinge. Auch in der traditionellen europäischen Volksmedizin ist Färberwaid kein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Die Pflanze wird vor allem bei Husten, Hals- und Magenschmerzen und zur Unterstützung des Abwehrsystems eingesetzt. Auch wenn nicht alle Inhaltsstoffe des Färberwaids entschlüsselt sind, weiß man inzwischen, dass die Pflanze folgende Komponenten enthält:  Gerbstoffe, Glucosinolate (Senfölglykoside, wie beispielsweise Glucobrassicin), Alkaloide, Flavonoide, Fettsäuren Färberwaid Tabletten ohne bedenkliche Zusatzstoffe Dieses Nahrungsergänzungsmittel enthält keine künstlichen Farbstoffe, keine Geschmacksstoffe, keine Konservierungsmittel, keine Gelatine, keine Zuckerzusätze, keine Laktose, kein Gluten.

Baikal Skullcap Powder Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) powder made from the root What is Baikal Skullcap? Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is a herbaceous plant with characteristic green leaves and purple flowers. On closer inspection, the small flowers resemble helmets from earlier times, which is reflected in the plant's common name.

When selecting our raw materials, we focus on consistent quality, careful processing and clear, factual product communication. Baikal Skullcap in Traditional Chinese Medicine In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Baikal skullcap has been known for more than 2000 years. Experienced users in Asia traditionally value the plant for its versatile classification. In TCM, plants and foods are described according to their own culturally and historically shaped properties; Baikal skullcap is often classified there as bitter and cold. These traditional descriptions should be understood as historical and cultural context. They do not replace authorised health claims and are not intended as statements about the prevention, treatment or cure of diseases. In food and food supplement communication, factual information about the plant, plant part, dosage form and composition is therefore the main focus. In Western specialist literature, Baikal skullcap is also described with regard to its plant constituents. The root contains, among other things, flavonoids, essential oils, resins and tannins. This product description does not derive any specific health effects from these constituents. The description therefore remains informative without creating medical claims or therapeutic expectations. The finely ground powder is suitable as a botanical raw material for individual use within the respective intended product application or for further processing. Please always observe the information on the label and the instructions applicable to the specific product. Baikal skullcap is also known to many from publications by Stephen Harrod Buhner. Ingredients Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) roots Note We offer this powder as a botanical raw material (food-grade) without a specified intended use.

As expected from Phönix der Lebenskraft, we source our raw materials from selected cultivation and pay attention to careful processing. Described by skilled herbalists in the Middle Ages When we think of the Middle Ages, we often picture an uncivilised way of life marked by dirt, disease and hunger. Yet despite these negative associations, we should remember that we are descendants of that era - if people in the 15th and 16th centuries had not been so resourceful and close to nature, we would not be here today. Herbal knowledge played an important role at that time. Motherwort was mentioned as early as 1485 in a herbal book (Gart der Gesundheit). Names such as Paracelsus and Rembert Dodoens also appear in historical sources in connection with Motherwort. This historical context is not intended as a health claim; it describes the traditional background of the plant. Motherwort naturally contains plant-specific constituents such as: Flavonoids Bitter substances Betaines Ursolic acid Lenorium Choline Essential oils These constituents shape the natural plant profile of the ground herb. The tablets are a practical dosage form for the daily supplementation of the diet. Motherwort tablets with ground herb This food supplement contains ground Motherwort herb as well as the tableting aids listed in the ingredient information.

Kalmegh Powder Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata, "King of Bitters") powder made from the ground herb What is Kalmegh? Kalmegh, also known as Andrographis paniculata, is often referred to as the "King of Bitters". This upright-growing plant, with its numerous leaves and small white flowers, may appear rather modest at first glance. While often considered a weed in Europe, it is highly valued in its native regions of South and Southeast Asia.

In Ayurveda, Kalmegh has been used for over 2000 years and is even mentioned in some of the oldest texts. Ayurvedic practitioners traditionally use Kalmegh for persistent coughs, colds, chronic fatigue, and digestive complaints. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Andrographis paniculata also plays an important role in supporting the body’s defenses. It is primarily used to strengthen the lung meridians and to clear excess heat from the body. Experienced TCM practitioners also employ Kalmegh for various skin conditions.

Licorice Root Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) tincture – made from the ground root What is Licorice? Licorice, a plant from the legume family, is distinguished by its characteristic blossoms, which can range in color from white to bluish-violet. Originally found as a wild plant across Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australia, and both North and South America, licorice prefers loose, humus-rich soil and thrives particularly well in sunny locations. Under optimal conditions, it can grow up to two meters tall and one meter wide. Its robust, fleshy roots penetrate the soil up to one meter deep, while rhizomes spread outward as far as eight meters. Our products are made exclusively from licorice roots, as they contain the broadest spectrum of active compounds. We place the highest importance on purity and sustainability in our raw materials. The long tradition of this healing plant As early as ancient Egypt, licorice was revered and used as a healing plant. Theophrastus of Eresos, in 350 BC, described its remarkable effects on the upper respiratory tract, noting that licorice was effective for conditions ranging from persistent cough to chronic bronchial hypersensitivity. Indigenous peoples of the Americas also appreciated the many benefits of licorice. They used it not only as a sweetener but also valued its roots as a tonic. Licorice was particularly relied upon for digestive issues, toothaches, sore throats, and stomach or intestinal discomfort. For around 3,000 years, licorice has also been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Known as Gan Cao, the sweet roots are primarily employed to strengthen Qi – the life energy that is believed to flow harmoniously through the body. In Ayurveda, licorice root is highly regarded for its cooling and revitalizing properties. Practitioners use it to combat fatigue and to restore balance in the body’s energy centers, with particular influence on the liver, bladder, and lung energies. In the Western world, licorice is best known as the base for licorice candy. Today, its compounds are well-studied, revealing its unique composition. The roots are rich in triterpenoid saponins and contain high concentrations of glycyrrhizin – a natural compound believed to have anti-inflammatory and protective effects, especially for mucous membranes. Other constituents include flavonoids and coumarin. Flavonoids are antioxidants that help the body defend itself, while coumarin is regarded as calming, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory. Many people also know licorice from the book “Herbal Antivirals” by Stephen Harrod Buhner.

Woad Tincture (1:4) Woad (Isatis tinctoria) tincture made from roots What is Woad? Woad is a plant from the mustard family (Brassicaceae) known for its unique properties. With its blue-green leaves and yellow, rapeseed-like flowers, it may appear rather unremarkable at first glance. However, its impressive adaptability makes it stand out. The blue tint of the leaves comes from a natural wax coating that protects the plant from drought. This coating also helps shield it from heat and rot—three stressors that many other plants struggle with. But Isatis tinctoria thrives in dry, hot, and even overly moist conditions. Inside this plant, which can grow up to 150 cm tall, lies a sophisticated “water transport system” that ensures its roots receive ample hydration. This remarkable plant is native to Western Asia and Europe. We use finely ground woad roots from sustainable cultivation for our product. Not a Modern Discovery Woad already played a major role during the Iron Age, primarily valued for its dyeing properties. The beautiful indigo blue it produces was highly cherished even back then. Woad was also used as a medicinal plant. For over 3,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has used woad roots under the name "Banlangen" as a remedy. In TCM, the plant is considered heat-clearing and associated with the heart and stomach meridians. Experienced practitioners in the Far East still recommend it today for coughs, colds, fevers, and to fight various unwanted intruders. Woad is also well known in traditional European folk medicine. It has long been used to relieve coughs, sore throats, stomach discomfort, and to support the immune system. Although not all components of woad have been fully deciphered, it is known to contain: Tannins, glucosinolates (mustard oil glycosides such as glucobrassicin), alkaloids, flavonoids, and fatty acids Woad tincture without harmful additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavorings, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten.

Licorice Root Tincture (1:4) What is Licorice? Licorice belongs to the legume family. Like all plants of this genus, licorice bears the characteristic blossoms, varying from white to bluish-violet. This herbaceous plant is found in its wild form across Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australia, and both North and South America. It prefers loose, humus-rich soil and thrives particularly well in sunny locations. Under optimal conditions, licorice can grow up to two meters tall and one meter wide.

For around 3,000 years, licorice has also been a staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Known there as Gan Cao, the sweet roots are primarily used to strengthen Qi – the vital life energy that must flow in harmony throughout the body. According to TCM, toxins, inflammation, and infections disrupt this life energy, which is why licorice is prescribed for a variety of imbalances. In Ayurveda, the sweet-tasting root is also highly valued, especially for its cooling and revitalizing properties. Experienced practitioners use licorice to combat fatigue and to balance the body’s energy points, particularly benefiting the liver, bladder, and lungs. In the Western world, licorice is best known as the base for licorice candy. Today, its compounds are well-researched, providing detailed insight into its composition.

Rhodiola Tincture (1 : 4) Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) tincture made from the roots What is Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)? The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name had long fallen into obscurity in Central Europe, even though Rhodiola already played an important role here in the 17th century. Rhodiola rosea, from the Crassulaceae family, is mainly found in arctic regions and the mountain ranges of Eurasia. The small plant, with a maximum height of 35 cm, is easily recognized as a succulent due to its characteristic leaves. Its tiny clustered flowers exude a delightful fragrance that highlights its botanical kinship. Not only the flowers please our senses – when cut, both the roots and above-ground stems release a rose-like scent. This is also the origin of the plant’s name “rose root.” For the production of our tinctures, we rely on the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground roots. These are largely sourced from wild collections in Russia. However, we strive to obtain all raw materials from controlled cultivation in order to protect the wild Rhodiola population. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet is important. The forgotten adaptogen In Scandinavia as well as in Russia, Rhodiola has long been considered an exceptional adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet sustainably influence the body’s stress response and help the organism develop better stress tolerance. In Siberia, Rhodiola is referred to as the “golden root,” underscoring its high importance. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance concentration and memory performance and is also said to be helpful for vitality and potency concerns. The indigenous people of the Altai region also valued Rhodiola highly, using it especially for persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support mental and physical strength. This knowledge was also present in German-speaking regions. Rhodiola already appears in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and trusted remedy for headaches. Rhodiola contains valuable compounds such as phenolic glycosides (e.g. salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol), phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils. Rhodiola Tincture without questionable additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavoring, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Rhodiola Tincture Ingredients IngredientContent per maximum daily dose Rhodiola – dried root (Rhodiola rosea) approx. 750 mg Extractant: ethanol approx. 1.2 g Additionally contains traces of acetic acid from organic apple vinegar (under 1%) and pure water.

Milk Thistle Tincture (1 : 4) Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum - Cardui Mariae fructus/herba) tincture made from fruits and herb What is Milk Thistle Tincture (Silybum marianum)? Milk thistle was named “Medicinal Plant of the Year 2021” – and for good reason. Folk medicine has valued this plant since the Middle Ages, if not earlier. The name “milk thistle” itself highlights its significance. According to legend, a common thistle came into contact with the Virgin Mary’s milk while she was nursing the infant Jesus. Normally, thistles are not particularly admired, but this plant is said to have received its special attention by developing distinctive white-green veined leaves. In addition to its striking leaves, milk thistle bears beautiful purple blossoms on stems that can reach up to 150 cm – though, like all thistles, it also carries its share of sharp spines. Originally native to the Mediterranean, Silybum marianum can now also be found in central Europe, especially in warm and dry habitats. For our tincture, we use equal parts of milk thistle fruit and herb. The plant parts are harvested according to strict quality criteria, carefully dried, and extracted with alcohol to ensure that all valuable compounds are preserved and made fully available to you. A proven medicinal herb since antiquity Many medieval records document the diverse applications of milk thistle. Dioscorides recommended it against snake bites, while Pliny used it for gallbladder complaints. In 19th-century monastery medicine, milk thistle held a firm place in treatments for gall, spleen, and liver conditions. Hildegard of Bingen even prescribed it for side stitch, which at that time referred to lung and pleural inflammation. Today, milk thistle is recognized in both naturopathy and conventional medicine as effective support for the liver and gallbladder. Its benefits are largely attributed to silymarin – a complex of three different flavonoids. Milk thistle contains valuable compounds such as: the flavonoid complex silymarin (silibinin, silychristin, silydianin), betaine, bitter substances, gamma-linolenic acid, essential oils, and resins.

At the same time, the handed-down herbal tradition shows how closely people then engaged with plants, preparations and their characteristics. Herbal knowledge played an important role at that time, and Motherwort was one of the known plants in historical herbal literature. As early as 1485, the plant was mentioned in a medical book (Gart der Gesuntheit). Well-known figures such as Paracelsus and Rembert Dodoens described Motherwort in their writings and placed it within the plant knowledge of their time. The plant contains various typical plant constituents, including flavonoids, bitter substances, betaines, ursolic acid, Lenorium, choline and essential oils.

Rhodiola Alcohol-Free Tincture (1 : 4) Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) tincture – made from the roots What is Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)? The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name had long fallen into obscurity in Central Europe, even though Rhodiola played an important role here as early as the 17th century. Rhodiola rosea, belonging to the Crassulaceae family, is primarily found in arctic regions and mountainous areas of Eurasia. The small plant reaches a maximum height of 35 cm and can easily be recognized as a succulent thanks to its distinctive leaves. Its tiny clustered flowers exude a wonderful scent, further revealing its botanical kinship. But it is not only the flowers that delight the senses – when cut, both the roots and the above-ground stems release a rose-like fragrance, giving the plant its name “rose root.” For the production of our tinctures, we follow the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground roots. Most of these are sourced from wild collections in Russia. However, we strive to obtain all raw materials from controlled cultivation in order to preserve wild Rhodiola populations. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet matters. The forgotten adaptogen In Scandinavia and Russia, Rhodiola has always been regarded as an extraordinary adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet effectively influence the body’s stress response and help the organism build better resilience. In Siberia, Rhodiola is even called the “golden root,” highlighting its high value. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance concentration and memory and was also applied in cases of vitality and potency concerns. The indigenous peoples of the Altai mountains also valued Rhodiola highly, using it primarily against persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support both mental and physical strength. This knowledge was also present in German-speaking regions. Rhodiola is mentioned in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and a trusted helper against headaches. Rhodiola contains a wide range of valuable constituents, including phenolic glycosides such as salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol, phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils.

Woad Root Powder Woad (Isatis tinctoria) powder made from roots What is Woad (Isatis tinctoria)? Woad, a plant from the mustard family (Brassicaceae), is known for its unique characteristics. Its blue-green leaves and yellow, rapeseed-like flowers may seem modest at first glance, but the plant’s exceptional adaptability deserves attention. The leaves are covered with a natural wax coating that protects them from drought, heat, and decay—three conditions that pose challenges for many other plants. Scientifically named Isatis tinctoria, this species can withstand extreme weather conditions thanks to a sophisticated water-conducting system within its stem, which can grow up to 150 cm tall. This remarkable plant is originally native to Western Asia and Europe. For our product, we use finely ground woad roots sourced from sustainable cultivation. Not a Modern Invention Woad has played an important role since the Iron Age, mainly for its dyeing properties. Its striking indigo blue was cherished even in ancient times. Additionally, woad has been valued as a medicinal plant. For more than 3,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has used woad roots—known as "Banlangen"—as a healing remedy. In TCM, the plant is considered heat-clearing and is associated with the heart and stomach meridians. To this day, therapists in the Far East prescribe it for coughs, colds, fevers, and a variety of unwanted intruders. Woad is also well-known in traditional European folk medicine, where it has been used especially for coughs, throat and stomach ailments, and to support the immune system. Although not all compounds in woad have been fully studied, it is known to contain tannins, glucosinolates (such as glucobrassicin), alkaloids, flavonoids, and fatty acids.
