Amaranth (Teucrium Polium) – The Ancient Herb of Healing

Healing and skincare properties

Felty Germander (Teucrium Polium), is a wild Mediterranean herb valued since antiquity for its healing powers. Referenced by Hippocrates and Dioscorides, it was traditionally used for nervous weakness and digestive disorders.

Its leaves and flowers carry astringent, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Fresh leaf juice has long been applied externally to burns, wounds, hemorrhoids, chronic skin conditions, and even warts, aiding tissue restoration and reducing inflammation.

When prepared as an infusion, Felty Germander acts as a hypoglycemic, hypotensive, and tonic remedy. However, due to potential liver toxicity, it must only be consumed under medical supervision.

In gardening, this resilient plant is admired for its beauty and for attracting bees and beneficial insects, enriching biodiversity. Felty Germander thus bridges tradition, healing, and ecological value.

Bring the power of tradition into your wellness routine. Add Amaranth to your herbal collection and experience the timeless healing of nature responsibly.
