🛍 Product Information (Main) (English)：
Fresh Verbena (scientific name: Verbena officinalis L.), also known as European vervain or common verbena, is a hardy perennial herb native to Europe and naturalized in North America. It thrives in roadsides, grasslands, and woodland edges, growing upright to 30-100 cm tall with opposite, lance-shaped leaves that have toothed edges. The plant produces small, clustered flowers in pale purple or white, blooming from summer to autumn. Fresh verbena has a refreshing lemony aroma and is widely used in culinary applications (e.g., teas, salads), herbal remedies, and as a garden ornamental to attract butterflies. In traditional European folk medicine, it's valued as a nerve tonic for PMS, menopausal symptoms, and rituals. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it's known as Ma Bian Cao, categorized under herbs that clear heat and relieve toxicity; it's cool and bitter, entering the Liver and Spleen meridians, used to invigorate blood, resolve stasis, and treat conditions like malaria, feverish toxins, or menstrual irregularities. Fresh juice can be applied topically for skin issues, but use cautiously to avoid irritation.
