Cowslip (Primula veris)

The cowslip, also known as “heavenly key,” is one of the first signs of spring and is widespread throughout Central Europe and the Near East. In the Middle Ages, it was considered a proven remedy for gout, heart problems, and colds. For Hildegard von Bingen, it was one of the plants that provided warmth. The cowslip can be used to soothe sensitive skin and relieve inflammation. It has antibacterial, wound-healing, regenerating, and soothing properties. Saponins, carotenoids, tannins, and flavonoids are just some of the valuable ingredients that contribute to its skin-care and balancing effects.
