Fumitory Herb is a gently bitter, aromatic herb traditionally prepared as a simple tea or tincture ingredient. The dried cut form brews into a light, herbaceous cup with a clean bitterness that many people prefer after meals or as part of seasonal routines. Fumitory is also used externally in traditional practice as a cooled, well-strained rinse for problem-prone skin. The bulk size is ideal for regular brewing, blending and decanting into jars.
