Lady's Bedstraw (Galium verum) — also called yellow bedstraw or cheese rennet — is one of the medicinal plants least known to the general public, but is deeply respected in Romanian monastic and popular tradition for its hepatic, depurative, and skin care virtues. Blooming around St. John's Day, it was ritually gathered and used both internally and externally by those who knew its secrets.
Rich in iridoids, flavonoids, tannins, and organic acids, Galium verum acts with gentleness and depth on the liver and biliary tract — without forcing, but supporting the natural rhythm of detoxification. Slow artisanal maceration in medicinal alcohol fully extracts the bioactive complex, including fat-soluble compounds inaccessible to simple infusion.
A rare plant, an even rarer extract
- Niche plant, industrially neglected — Galium verum is not found in mass supplements; its knowledge remains the heritage of phytotherapists and local traditions
- Unique dual action — internal hepato-biliary effect combined with antiseptic and healing properties for external use; one bottle, two distinct uses
- Harvested at Sânziene (St. John's Day) — flowers are collected around June 24th, the traditional and biologically optimal time for maximum concentration of active principles
- Slow maceration, without haste — iridoids and flavonoids in Galium verum require time to fully transfer into the extract; artisanal production respects this rhythm
Galium verum contains iridoids, flavonoids, tannins, organic acids, and essential oils with synergistic hepato-biliary, depurative, and skin health-supporting action — both internally and externally.
