Wood Betony Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Thriving in ancient woodlands, hedgerows, and open grasslands across Europe and Western Asia, Wood Betony (Stachys officinalis) is a revered perennial herb with a rich heritage in traditional herbalism. Held in high esteem since antiquity, the Anglo-Saxons considered it a potent protector against mental distress, while an old Italian proverb advised: "Sell your coat and buy Betony." Rich in bitter alkaloids (such as stachydrine and betonicine), tannins, and phenolic acids, Wood Betony acts as a premier grounding nervine and cerebral tonic in Western herbalism—renowned for grounding scattered nervous energy, easing head tension, and drawing overactive mental focus down into the body.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Earthy, slightly bitter, astringent, mildly aromatic
• Energetics: Slightly cooling, drying, grounding, nervine

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:
