The gentle healing herb for inner wounds 🌿
In natural medicine, there are plants that hardly anyone knows—making them true hidden treasures. Sanicle, also called the “healer of all ailments,” is one of them. When you drink sanicle tea, you experience its full power: gentle, yet deeply effective. For centuries, it has been valued especially for inner inflammations, irritated mucous membranes, or simply to strengthen your body.
What is Sanicle?
Sanicle (Sanicula europaea) is a modest woodland plant that was traditionally used in monastic medicine. Its name comes from the Latin sanare—to heal. No wonder it was once considered a “universal remedy.”
Sanicle is especially known for its astringent, blood-staunching, and cleansing effects—both when used externally and internally.
Effects: How does sanicle tea help?
Sanicle tea is especially:
- anti-inflammatory
- soothing for mucous membranes
- diuretic
- promotes wound healing
You can use it for:
- irritations in the mouth and throat
- mild stomach or intestinal inflammations
- bladder issues
- mild internal bleeding (such as hemorrhoids)
- a gentle “internal cleanse”
In Hildegard medicine, it is considered supportive for “congested, weakened bodies” that need cleansing and strengthening.
Application & Preparation
How to prepare Sanikel tea:
- 1–2 teaspoons of dried Sanikel herb
- pour 250 ml of boiling water over it
- cover and let steep for 10 minutes
- strain and sip slowly
Tip: If you have acute symptoms, drink 2–3 cups daily for several days—ideally between meals.
The tea is also excellent as a rinse or gargle solution for mouth problems.
Buying Sanikel tea – what should you look for?
Sanikel isn’t available in every supermarket. You can find Sanikel tea at pharmacies, health food stores, or specialized online shops. Make sure to look for:
- 100% pure herb
- preferably organic quality
- airtight, light-protected packaging
Some suppliers also offer Sanikel as “monastery tea” or “cleansing tea”—checking the ingredients list will help you find your way.
Conclusion: A gentle helper with a powerful effect
Sanikel tea isn’t an everyday tea—but it’s a powerful companion in special times. If you want to gently cleanse your body, strengthen your mucous membranes, or soothe internal irritation, Sanikel is a loyal partner. As is often the case with plants: less is more—but with mindfulness, its full healing power unfolds 🌱
