If you walk through a blooming meadow with your eyes open, 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 consciously finding their way back into our kitchens, teas, and even dietary supplements.
Wild herbs are pure nature – without any chemicals
Wild herbs are all edible herbs that grow naturally without being cultivated or deliberately cultivated. They grow in forests, meadows, field margins, mountains, or even between paving stones—anywhere where nature is left to its own devices.
Wild herbs are considered particularly nutrient-rich and adaptable because they thrive under natural conditions without fertilization or cultivation.
What's special about wild herbs is that they grow without human intervention, without fertilizers or pesticides. They are adapted to their environment and thus develop particularly robust components to protect themselves. These secondary plant substances also make wild herbs so valuable for us humans – they support many metabolic processes in the body and can strengthen the immune system.
It is precisely this natural power that we use at Nikolaus Nature: Many of our products contain plant extracts from herbs, roots or seeds – because we are convinced that nature provides the best answers for our health.
So what exactly are meadow herbs?
Meadow herbs are those wild herbs that grow specifically in meadows—that is, in open, sunny, often nutrient-rich habitats. Meadow herbs are typically companion plants of grasses and have adapted to this environment.
They are therefore wild herbs, but occur in a specific habitat: the meadow.
Meadow herbs are wild, mostly perennial plants that grow in natural meadows, forest edges, or open bushes. Many of them were once considered medicinal plants—and their valuable ingredients, such as bitter substances, secondary plant substances, vitamins, and minerals, are still valued today.
The most well-known representatives include:
- Nettle
- Ribwort plantain
- daisy
- arnica
- Willowherb
- peppermint
- dandelion
All of them are little powerhouses with amazing effects. Whether in the forest, meadow, or roadside – wild herbs have power. And that's precisely why their natural ingredients play an important role in our products.
The connection to dietary supplements
Of course, you don't have to gather herbs in the meadow every day—although that can be a nice way to relax. Many of the ingredients found in meadow herbs can now be found in high-quality, concentrated form in dietary supplements. They are gently extracted, tested, and processed so that your body can absorb them optimally.
A good example of this is our product NN Detox special, which contains, among other ingredients, wild garlic extract – a plant that grows wild in open forests and has been used for centuries to support the body's natural detoxification function. Turmeric, yams, pomegranate, and black cumin – many of our herbal ingredients share a similar history to meadow herbs: time-honored, rediscovered, and scientifically proven.
Back to nature – for more balance in everyday life
More and more people today long for naturalness, a healthy lifestyle, and inner balance. Meadow herbs symbolize precisely this. They grow where you least expect them – quiet, powerful, resilient. And they remind us how much strength lies in nature.
With our products, we want to make this strength available to you – in the form of natural ingredients that gently support your well-being and help you bring yourself back into balance.
