Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract is a natural extract derived from a shrub that grows rapidly in the Canadian wilderness. Canadian Willow Herb thrives even after forest fires and displays the phytochemical ability to survive in harsh weather conditions.
In folk medicine, Canadian Willow Herb is dried and used as a dressing to soothe skin or encourage the healing of burns. Since ancient times, Native Americans have used an extract of the Canadian willow herb (Yanagilan) for a number of uses, including as an intestinal astringent, sun and burn treatment, and inflammation relief.
In vitro, studies have demonstrated Epilobium Angustifolium's extract free radical scavenging activity. In addition, recent clinical trials have demonstrated the extract's potent anti-inflammatory properties and its constituents.
Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which influences sebum secretion, and features strong antioxidants. It also contains bioactive molecules with broad-spectrum functions including anti-oxidants, anti-irritants, anti-acne, and anti-hyperandrogens.Related ingredients
