Silverweed (Potentilla anserina) is a plant that prefers to thrive in moist, nutrient-rich soils, such as along ditch banks, meadows and roadsides. Silverweed is instantly recognized by its beautifully shaped, pinnate leaves that show a silvery sheen in sunlight. Silverweed is more than an ornamental: The plant has been praised for its medicinal properties for centuries. For menstrual cramps, intestinal complaints and even sore throats, silverweed is a gentle but effective remedy. Its wealth of tannins, flavonoids and bitter substances makes it a powerful herb against a wide range of ailments. The silverweed we offer grows wild, in its natural habitat. Its wild growth gives it an intense character and a particularly rich taste and aroma.

Our herbs are packaged in resealable pouches that protect against light, air, and moisture, helping to preserve their aroma, quality, and properties as well as possible. The pouches are made of paper with a compostable protective layer and are industrially compostable. In many municipalities, they can be disposed of with organic waste. Home composting is also possible, although it may take a bit longer (about 1–2 years). More information about our packaging choice.

People with sensitive stomachs or a tendency to constipation should use with caution. Pregnant women are advised to consult a physician before using silverweed. Disclaimer
