The boldo is a plant from South America known for its detoxifying properties and is used for indigestion, constipation, and liver insufficiency thanks to its properties. Great to prepare as a boldo herbal tea, easy and quick to consume!
The boldo plant, also known as Peumus boldus, synonymous with Pneumus boldus, is an evergreen shrub native to Chile, Bolivia, and Peru, belonging to the Monimiaceae family, currently also cultivated in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco. It has opposite, leathery, oval leaves of matte green color, with a very short petiole. It produces fruits between December and February characterized by a high sugar content and therefore a very sweet taste.
The boldo is native to South America, specifically central Chile and Peru, but has spread to many other areas of the continent and has also been introduced to Europe and North Africa.
The most used part of the boldo plant is the dried leaves. They are mainly used for preparing boldo herbal tea against digestive problems.
Being a natural remedy for detoxification, it would be contradictory to offer our customers boldo leaves grown with the use of pesticides and other synthetic chemicals. For this reason, we have chosen to include in our catalog organic boldo leaves, so that you can take a high-quality product as well as a real boon for your health.
Boldo leaves are known for their detoxifying properties, especially at the liver level. Moreover, they have always been known for their purifying and detoxifying properties for the liver and our body, as well as for their digestive and gastroprotective properties. Boldo has a selective action on bile secretion, acting as a bile fluidifier, increasing secretion and reducing viscosity. It is used in case of constipation, as the increase of bile salts in the intestine promotes intestinal functions, enhancing the laxative action of other herbs like senna and buckthorn, which can be combined in laxative herbal teas.
Boldo leaves can be used in various ways. In fact, boldo leaves can also be found in our purifying herbal tea, or in mother tincture within Epavin, a blend of plants with purifying, digestive, and liver-protective properties.
