Herbal Nature Alkanna Tinctoria herb 100gr - Strong healing herb

The Almante or Alkanna or Alkanna Tinctoria root comes from a plant known from antiquity, endemic to the coastal areas of the Eastern Mediterranean. She belongs to the Boraginoid family. Its flowers stand out for their distinctive blue-purple color and the root for the deep red. It produces a substance widely used as a natural dye in cosmetics (blushes, lipsticks, ointments, creams, varnishes, etc.) as well as wines, but also for dyeing of wood, stone etc. The ancient botanist Theophrastus and later Dioskouridis, as well as Hippocrates, describe the properties of the plant and suggest recipes for its use.

According to recent biological studies, the root of the Alund plant has antimicrobial properties (against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis). In addition, it can be used as an anti-inflammatory with strong action. But the most important property of alkanine and shikinin, the substances contained in large quantities at the root of the plant, is its healing effect. It is suitable for the treatment of wounds, burns, ulcers of all kinds, hemorrhoidopathy and other skin diseases as it is a herbal substance that helps to restore the skin without the side effects of chemicals.
