Organic Willowherb - 200 mg - 200 vegetable capsules

○ Latin name: Epilobium angustifolium ○ Dosage: 200 mg per capsule Willowherb is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Onagraceae family. The genus includes more than 150 species of herbaceous plants, native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Willowherbs have opposite or alternate leaves and four-petalled flowers that vary in color, often pink, red, purple or white. The flowers also have stamens and a prominent pistil, making them easily recognizable. ֍ An interesting trivia about willowherb relates to its common name in English, "fireweed", which literally means "fire weed". This name refers to the willowherb's ability to quickly colonize burned areas or soils disturbed by fire. This is because the willowherb has developed a unique survival strategy to thrive in burned areas. Willowherb seeds are covered in a fine layer of silky hairs that allow them to travel long distances with the wind. When the seeds reach a burned area, they germinate quickly thanks to a particular adaptation of their metabolism. The willowherb stalks then emerge from the ash and begin to grow rapidly to form dense clumps of colorful leaves and flowers. Within a few years, willowherb can cover large swaths of formerly scorched land, bringing a splash of color to these devastated landscapes.
