Tormentil Root | Digestive, Wound & Anti-Inflammatory Support
The Remedy:
Tormentil (Potentilla erecta), also known as Bloodroot, Septfoil, Barren Strawberry, or Tormentila (in Spanish), is a powerful astringent herb traditionally used to support digestion, soothe inflammation, and promote tissue healing.
Rich in tannins, flavonoids, and plant polyphenols, Tormentil helps tighten and protect mucous membranes, making it effective for diarrhea, ulcers, sore throats, and gum irritation. When used externally, it helps heal wounds, burns, and minor skin infections while reducing inflammation and redness.
Known in European and folk medicine as a reliable remedy for gut balance and skin repair, Tormentil is gentle yet effective — making it a valuable addition to natural cleansing, digestive, and skin-healing formulas.
