Tormentil Herb Cut is a dried cut herb from Potentilla erecta , valued for its tannin-rich, earthy and astringent profile. It is traditionally prepared as a short-term decoction for digestive support, especially during bouts of loose stools and general tummy upsets. Tormentil is also used in cooled, well-strained mouthwashes, gargles and external lotions, and has heritage use in natural dye work. The cut format is easy to measure, simmer and strain for simple home preparations.
♡ Why we love it: Tormentil brews into a firm, astringent tea that is simple to prepare. The cut format is practical for short-term digestive routines, mouth rinses and traditional external applications.
