Herbal Tea Blend – 102 g

Horsetail | Nettle | Cleavers
(Equisetum arvense | Urtica dioica | Galium aparine)

Natural Beauty is a composition of three herbs traditionally appreciated in European herbal practice for their naturally occurring plant minerals and phytochemical diversity. Horsetail, nettle and cleavers create a fresh, green herbal infusion rich in compounds naturally present in the plant material.

In traditional herbalism, combinations of these plants are often associated with “beauty-oriented” herbal infusions, meaning blends chosen by people who enjoy mineral-rich herbal teas as part of their daily routine and natural lifestyle.

This type of composition is particularly appreciated by those who include herbs in their daily beauty rituals, especially in relation to hair, skin and nails, as understood in traditional herbal practice.

🌿 Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) — the “silica herb”

Horsetail is one of the best-known botanical sources associated with natural silica compounds, which occur in the plant as forms of silicic acid and related mineral structures.

The plant material is also known to contain various naturally occurring compounds such as:

• flavonoids (e.g. quercetin, kaempferol)
• phenolic acids
• saponins
• trace plant minerals, depending on soil conditions

Because of its mineral profile — particularly its association with silica — horsetail has long been included in traditional herbal blends focused on beauty-oriented herbal routines, especially those connected with hair care traditions.

For this reason horsetail frequently appears in herbal compositions chosen by people interested in supporting the natural appearance of hair, skin and nails as part of a balanced lifestyle.

🌿 Nettle (Urtica dioica) — a mineral-rich green herb

Nettle leaf is widely recognised in herbal literature as a plant material with a naturally rich nutritional profile.

It is commonly associated with the presence of naturally occurring compounds such as:

• plant minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium
• chlorophyll
• carotenoids
• flavonoids (e.g. quercetin, kaempferol)
• phenolic acids

In herbal blends nettle often forms the core of the composition, giving the infusion its deep green character and mineral-rich profile. Because of this, it has long been valued as a plant used in traditional herbal teas intended as part of daily nourishment.

🌿 Cleavers (Galium aparine) — the herb of movement

Cleavers is a well-known herb in traditional European herbalism and is frequently included in blends associated with cleansing-style herbal infusions in the context of traditional botanical practice.

Its phytochemical profile includes compounds such as:

• iridoid glycosides (e.g. asperuloside)
• flavonoids
• tannins
• phenolic compounds

In herbal compositions cleavers often provides a lighter, fresher botanical character and helps balance blends rich in minerals and green plant material.
