Wild Flowers or Weeds


Herb Robert is a geranium - Geranium Robertianum, it grows as a weed or wild flower all over the allotments its on every plot except those that are kept weed or wild flower free,  although tasteless it can be used as a salad leaf or tea with honey and lemon and contains the powerful antioxidant vitamins A and C, as well as vitamin B. It is full of minerals such as iron, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, calcium and even the wonder trace mineral germanium. Germanium itself functions as a powerful free-radical scavenger (so it is a powerful anti-oxidant in its own right), as well as activating and catalyzing the use of oxygen within the body creating an oxygen rich super nourishing environment that is anti-viral and anti-biotic for the pathogenic (disease producing) organisms. Germanium improves electrical conductivity at a cellular level and is an important part of the DNA chain itself - therefore it is a very regenerating element to receive in our diet. Herb Robert also contains the powerful phyto-nutrient 'ellagic acid' which has powerful anti-tumor qualities being an anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative, helping to neutralise the effects of all of those harmful carcinogens that we take in on a daily basis just through ordinary living. Herb Robert is an adaptogen, meaning that it has a wonderful way of modulating the immune system by boosting it again when overly stressed.
