Bilberry
Bilberry, also known simply as the blueberry of our woods, is prized for its strong antioxidant properties, which are attributed to its high concentration of anthocyanins, flavonoids and other bioactive compounds. These antioxidants help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, support the health of the eyes and support cardiovascular health. Bilberry is also valued for its anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects, which makes it beneficial for the circulation and for the overall health of the blood vessels. Bilberry has traditionally been used for centuries in folk medicine to support the health of the eyes, digestion and circulation. Thanks to its lovely properties it has earned a revered place in traditional herbal practices and natural care.
Bilberry tincture
Besides simply eating the berries, you can also enjoy their benefits through a tincture of bilberry. This tincture is drawn directly from the berries and holds their active compounds. You then take it daily, drop by drop. It can be dosed straight into the mouth, or left to dissolve in tea or water. Such a tincture can support the health of the eyes, improve the circulation and support overall vitality.
