Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis L.) is a small herbaceous plant associated with meadows, pastures and open grasslands across Europe. It is recognised for its finely toothed leaves and delicate, pale flowers, often marked with violet lines and a yellow centre. The plant has a longstanding place in European botanical and herbal traditions.
Our dried cut Eyebright is prepared from the leaves and stems, offering a naturally varied mixture of fine leaf pieces and slender stem fragments. The material has an earthy-green appearance, a mild herbal aroma and a characteristically light, grassy profile. Differences in colour, texture and cut size reflect the natural characteristics of the plant.
The loose cut form is convenient for measuring and preparing a traditional herbal infusion. When steeped in hot water, it produces a gently herbal drink that may be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into suitable botanical blends.
Supplied as a single-ingredient dried botanical, Eyebright is a thoughtful choice for those exploring traditional European herbs. It is best enjoyed occasionally and over short periods, as described in the preparation and precautions sections below.
Natural variations in colour, texture and cut size may occur between batches.
Add 1 teaspoon (approximately 1–2 g / 1,000–2,000 mg) of dried cut Eyebright leaves and stems to 200 ml of freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes, then strain thoroughly before drinking.
