Strawberry Leaf-Cut & Sifted

Strawberry (Fragaria spp.) is not only a delicious fruit but also a powerful herbal remedy with a wide range of health applications. Both the fruit and leaves have been used for centuries to support digestive health, blood purification, metabolism, and general wellness.

Medicinal and Health Benefits:

• Digestive Support: Strawberry leaves promote healthy digestion, helping relieve gastrointestinal distress, bloating, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids. Herbal teas made from the leaves are widely appreciated for these effects.
• Blood and Metabolic Health: Strawberry is traditionally used to “purify the blood,” stimulate metabolism, and support natural weight loss. Its leaves are rich in iron, which aids red blood cell production and overall blood health.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Strawberry may help reduce pain and swelling associated with arthritis, gout, and other inflammatory conditions.
• Kidney and Urinary Support: Used to support kidney function, relieve water retention (edema), and help with kidney stones or gravel.
• Respiratory and Fever Support: Strawberry can help alleviate inflammation in the respiratory tract, fever, and night sweats.
• Neurological Benefits: Antioxidants in strawberry may slow nerve degeneration, potentially supporting nervous system health and reducing age-related decline. Research is exploring its potential in preventing or treating conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
• Skin Applications: Strawberry leaves can be used topically as a compress to soothe rashes and minor skin irritations.

Usage and Preparation:

• Strawberry leaves can be steeped in hot water to prepare a tea, which can be consumed daily to support digestion, blood health, and overall wellness.
• The fruit itself can be eaten fresh or incorporated into juices, desserts, and other culinary preparations while offering additional antioxidant and vitamin benefits.
