When you walk across a blooming meadow with open eyes, you'll see more than just grass and colorful flowers. You’ll discover a treasure trove of wild herbs – true power plants that have been valued for centuries and are now making a conscious comeback in our kitchens, teas, and even dietary supplements.

Wild herbs are pure nature – without chemicals

Wild herbs are edible plants that grow freely in nature, without being cultivated or farmed. You’ll find them in forests, on meadows, at the edges of fields, in the mountains, or even between paving stones – anywhere nature is left to itself.
Wild herbs are known for being especially rich in nutrients and highly adaptable, as they thrive in natural conditions without fertilizer or breeding.
The special thing about wild herbs? They grow entirely on their own, without human interference, fertilizers, or pesticides. In adapting to their environment, they develop robust compounds to protect themselves. These secondary plant substances are also incredibly valuable for us – they support many metabolic processes and can contribute to a strong immune system.

And it’s exactly this natural strength that we tap into at Nikolaus Nature: Many of our products contain plant extracts from herbs, roots, or seeds – because we truly believe nature holds the best answers for our health.

So, what are meadow herbs then?

Meadow herbs are a specific type of wild herb that grow in open, sunlit, and often nutrient-rich areas – meadows, in other words.
They’re typical companions of grasses and have adapted to that specific habitat.

In short: all meadow herbs are wild herbs, but they come from one special environment – the meadow.
These resilient, often perennial plants grow in natural meadows, forest edges, or light shrub areas. Many were once considered medicinal plants and are still appreciated today for their valuable nutrients – such as bitter compounds, secondary plant substances, vitamins, and minerals.

Popular meadow herbs include:

• Nettle
• Ribwort plantain
• Daisy
• Arnica
• Willowherb
• Peppermint
• Dandelion

All of them are little powerhouses with impressive effects. Whether found in forests, meadows, or roadside paths – wild herbs are full of vitality. And that’s exactly why their natural compounds play an important role in many of our products.

The connection to nutritional supplements

You don’t have to go out and collect herbs every day – though it can be a lovely way to reconnect with nature. Many of the nutrients found in meadow herbs are now available in high-quality, concentrated form in supplements. They're gently extracted, carefully tested, and processed in ways that your body can absorb them optimally.

One great example is our NN Detox special, which contains wild garlic extract – a plant that grows naturally in light forests and has been used for centuries to support the body's natural detox function. Other plant-based ingredients like turmeric, yam, pomegranate, or black cumin also have stories much like those of meadow herbs: long respected, rediscovered, and now scientifically recognized.

Back to nature – for more balance in daily life

More and more people are seeking a natural lifestyle, health, and inner balance. Meadow herbs perfectly symbolize this desire. They grow quietly, strongly, and resiliently – often where you least expect them. And they remind us just how much power nature really holds.
???? With our products, we aim to make this strength available to you – through natural ingredients that gently support your well-being and help bring you back into balance.
