Strawberry

Description

Beautifully red and very healthy strawberries are the fruits of the common strawberry plant. For herbal purposes, the leaves can also be used, but only from wild strawberries. Strawberries contain a large amount of vitamins A, B, and C, citric and malic acid, pectins, tannins, carotene, essential oils, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese.

Effects and Use

Strawberries have antioxidant, regenerative, and anti-inflammatory properties. They are suitable for mature skin, where they combat wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity, as well as for acne-prone skin, helping to detoxify and heal it. Strawberry seeds are great for a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells while allowing other substances to be better absorbed by the skin.

When consumed internally, strawberries regulate digestion, strengthen the immune system, and help with hemorrhoids and inflammatory conditions.
