Willowherb Tincture

Willowherb tincture (Epilobium ciliatum - WillowHerb), in modern herbal medicine, is often referred to as an astringent, anti-inflammatory, antidiarrheal and mild antimicrobial. It contains an impressive blend of polyphenols and can be taken for pain relief, acting as an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving substitute for aspirin. It is used to treat prostate hyperplasia problems, as well as in cases of cystitis and nephritis. The European Medicines Agency's committee concluded that, based on its long-term use, Epilobium can be used by patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to relieve lower urinary tract symptoms, such as difficulty starting urination or frequent urination.
