What the brand says
Sold as “Alkaline Herb Shop Eyebright Herb Powder 4 oz - Organic or Wildcrafted Euphrasia Officinalis from Europe - for Tea & Herbal Shots - No Fillers, No Additives”
Each bag contains 4 oz of organic or wildcrafted eyebright herb powder, finely milled, harvested in Europe. The plant is Euphrasia officinalis, known in Spanish as eufrasia. One ingredient, nothing added. WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM: eyebright is a small semi parasitic wildflower of European meadows and grassland, with white and purple flowers marked with a yellow spot and fine dark lines. Early herbalists thought those markings resembled a bloodshot eye, and that resemblance is where the English name comes from. It is sometimes written as two words, eye bright. AS AN HERBAL SHOT: stir 1 to 2 teaspoons into 4 fl oz of boiling water, mix well, cover and let it stand 3 to 5 minutes, then drink. There is no strainer and nothing to throw away, because the herb has already been milled. Stir it again before drinking, as powder settles. ALSO PREPARED AS A TINCTURE, which is on the label, and the powder form is what makes that straightforward. TASTE: green and slightly bitter, with a dry, grassy finish. It is taken as a small shot rather than sipped by the mug. Naturally caffeine free. Store tightly closed in a dry place, 59 to 86 degrees F. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHY IS IT CALLED EYEBRIGHT? Because of the markings on the flower, which early herbalists thought looked like a bloodshot eye. That is the whole story behind the name. IS THIS POWDER OR CUT HERB? Powder, finely milled. Nothing to steep and strain, so it is quicker than a loose herb. QUE ES LA EUFRASIA? La eufrasia (Euphrasia officinalis) es una pequena flor silvestre de los prados europeos.
