Cinquefoil Herb – Potentilla reptans

Traditional astringent herb for balance.

Cinquefoil herb (Potentilla reptans), also known as creeping cinquefoil, is a traditional European plant recognized by its distinctive five-fingered leaves. It has been valued in folk herbal practices for centuries and is especially appreciated for its naturally high tannin content. The dried aerial parts have a mild, earthy aroma and a slightly bitter, astringent taste, making them suitable for herbal infusions and traditional wellness preparations.

Traditionally used to support digestive comfort and overall balance, cinquefoil is rich in plant compounds such as tannins and flavonoids, which are known for their antioxidant properties. It is commonly prepared as a tea or decoction and may also be used externally in traditional herbal routines. Our cinquefoil herb is carefully dried, hand-filled in small batches, and packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and natural aroma. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts.
