Knotgrass Herb Cut, also known as Knotweed, is a dried cut botanical from Polygonum aviculare . It has a mild green taste and light astringent finish, making it easy to use in simple teas, rinses and compresses. Knotgrass is traditionally regarded as astringent and diuretic, and is commonly used in seasonal, clear-breathing, digestive and external comfort routines. The cut format infuses quickly and pairs well with gentle herbs such as chamomile or peppermint.
♡ Why we love it: Knotgrass is clean, herbaceous and quietly practical. It offers gentle astringency without overwhelming a blend, making it useful for both internal infusions and simple external rinses.
