The benefits of Canadian fleabane on the body

Often referred to as the "joint plant", Canadian fleabane is traditionally used for its medicinal properties, including its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, diuretic and healing effects.

  • Anti-inflammatory : gallic acid, tannins and essential oil help reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory substances, such as cytokines and prostaglandins.

  • Antioxidant : The antioxidants in Canadian Fleabane help neutralize free radicals, which can help protect cells.

  • Diuretic : it promotes renal elimination of water and uric acid, which helps to maintain optimal fluid balance (fights against urinary inflammation and infections).

  • Wound healing : the tannins it contains help to tighten tissues and reduce bleeding.
