An essential of the Middle Ages

Sanicle is found in Europe in the shade of undergrowth, which it brightens with its immaculate flowers in the spring. In the Middle Ages, the first medical ‘school’ in the West, Schola Medica Salernitana, classified it as a cure-all. It calms upset stomachs and works wonders on burns, wounds and bruises. In the early 20th century, its reputation declined, only to come back stronger a short time later in the cosmetic field.
