What is Iphym Hazelnut Cut Leaf used for?
Hazelnut leaves have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their multiple therapeutic virtues. Derived from the Corylus avellana L. shrub, they contain active compounds such as tannins, flavonoids and phenolic acids, giving them unique properties. Let's find out in detail why incorporating these leaves into your health routine can be beneficial.
Hazelnut leaves are renowned for their ability to regulate blood cholesterol levels. Their action is mainly due to their flavonoid content, powerful antioxidants that help prevent the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), often referred to as "bad cholesterol". By reducing LDL levels, they help reduce the risk of fatty deposits on artery walls, a major factor in the development ofatherosclerosis. Regular infusions of hazelnut leaves can therefore help prevent cardiovascular disease.
The immune system plays a crucial role in protecting the body against infection. Thanks to their antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties, hazelnut leaves stimulate your body's natural defenses. The phenolic acids present in these leaves strengthen the body's resistance to pathogens. When the seasons change, or your body is weakened, an infusion of hazelnut leaves can help prevent common ailments such as colds and flus.
For those suffering from respiratory problems, hazelnut leaves offer a natural solution to soothe the respiratory tract. Their expectorant action facilitates the expulsion of mucus in the event of a hacking cough, while their anti-inflammatory properties relieve irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Consuming herbal teas made from hazelnut leaves can help alleviate the symptoms of bronchitis andasthma.
Blood circulation problems, such as varicose veins or hemorrhoids, can affect quality of life. Hazelnut leaves are renowned for their venotonic and anti-inflammatory properties, making them an ideal ally for supporting vascular health. By strengthening blood vessel walls and reducing inflammation, they help improve circulation and reduce the sensation of heavy legs. They are therefore often compared to witch hazel for their effectiveness in treating venous disorders.
Hazelnut leaves have astringent and healing properties thanks to their high tannin content. These compounds tighten tissues and promote healing of minor skin lesions. Used externally, as compresses or lotions, they are particularly effective in treating skin conditions such asacne,eczema and dermatitis. They reduce inflammation, soothe redness and accelerate the healing of superficial wounds.
Hazelnut leaves also have notable anti-inflammatory effects, helping to relieve joint pain such as that caused by arthritis or osteoarthritis. In infusion or decoction, they reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility. They are also known for their ability to soothe menstrual pain, thanks to their relaxing action on the smooth muscles of the uterus. An infusion of hazelnut leaves can therefore be a natural solution to ease menstrual cramps.
