What is one-sided wintergreen, and how does this product differ from ready-made extracts?

One-sided wintergreen (Orthilia secunda) is a perennial plant that has long been used in the herbal traditions of Eastern Europe and Siberia. LEKRASET Lakklehe võrsed (ORTILIA) 25 g consists of the dried shoots of the plant, intended for making herbal tea in the classic way, by infusion.

The fundamental difference from ready-made extracts and capsules lies in the form and the way it is used. Whole or cut plant material is steeped in hot water: as it infuses, the water gradually extracts natural compounds, creating the drink's characteristic taste and aroma. You can adjust the strength of the infusion yourself, following the manufacturer's instructions.

This format is chosen by those who prefer the traditional way of working with herbs and want to use single-ingredient plant material without added fillers, flavourings or mixed tea blends. The 25 g pack is convenient for getting to know the plant for the first time or for occasional use as part of a home herbal collection.
