The power of plants

The sanicle grows in the shady undergrowth of the forests of Europe which it lights up with its pure white flowers when it blossoms in spring. In the Middle Ages, the first Western faculty of medicine, the “Ecole de Salerne”, named it a universal remedy. It was used to relieve stomach ache and was very effective in the treatment of burns, wounds and bruises. The plant’s use then declined in the early 20th century but has recently seen a revival in the field of cosmetics.
