What is fumitory extract

The plant: Common Fumitory (Fumaria officinalis)
Common fumitory is an annual herbaceous plant from the Papaveraceae (poppy) family, found throughout Europe. It is a delicate plant with finely divided greyish-green foliage and small, tubular pink-purple flowers with dark tips.
The scientific name Fumaria derives from the Latin fumus (smoke). According to tradition, the plant's greyish-green foliage resembles smoke rising from the ground when seen from a distance. Another interpretation holds that the plant's juice causes the eyes to water, just like smoke. The German name "Erdrauch" (earth smoke) captures this same image.
The herb (aerial parts) is harvested during flowering, when the active compound content is at its peak.
How to use
Dosage: 5-10 drops in a glass of water or tea, twice daily.
Tip: Shake well before use. Regular use is recommended for best results.
