Iris florentina, also known as Florence iris, is a herbaceous perennial plant that has been appreciated for centuries for its many therapeutic properties. Its rhizomes, which we offer carefully cut in our online herbalist's shop, are exceptionally rich in minerals and active compounds, making them a precious ally for maintaining health and general well-being.
The rhizomes of Iris florentina are particularly rich in iron, copper and manganese, three minerals essential to the body's proper functioning. Iron plays a key role in red blood cell production and tissue oxygenation, helping to reduce fatigue and strengthen the immune system. Copper, meanwhile, is involved in energy metabolism and collagen formation, necessary for healthy skin, bones and joints. Manganese is involved in bone formation and cell protection against oxidative stress. Together, these minerals ensure optimal metabolic function, support bone density and promote the healthy development of body tissues.
In addition to their mineral richness, Iris florentina rhizomes contain significant amounts ofantioxidants, such as vitamin C and other phenolic compounds. These substances play a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals, reducing cellular damage linked to oxidative stress. This helps slow down the aging process and prevent various degenerative diseases.
Active compounds, notablyiridine andiridinol, give Iris florentina its anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial properties. These properties make it particularly effective in the treatment of digestive disorders, such as gastrointestinal inflammation, as well as in the management of urinary tract infections. By reducing inflammation and inhibiting the proliferation of pathogens, Iris florentina rhizomes offer natural support to relieve the symptoms of various ailments, such as menstrual pain or minor skin infections.
In addition to its medicinal applications, Iris florentina is also highly prized in cosmetics and perfumery. Its delicate, floral fragrance, derived from distillation of the rhizomes, is used in many skincare products to add a touch of freshness and sophistication. In cosmetics, iris extracts are incorporated into formulations for their moisturizing, soothing and regenerating properties, helping to maintainskin elasticity and fight the signs of aging. In hair care, they help revitalize hair, giving it shine and suppleness.
