Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus)
Bilberry is a low-growing woodland shrub with small, light green leaves and dark blue berries that ripen during the summer months. It grows in acidic forest soils, where shade, moisture and the tranquillity of nature come together. Its presence is gentle yet full of life – often associated with the natural rhythm of the forest, simplicity and harmony.
It belongs to the Ericaceae family. The leaves (Vaccinium myrtillus folium) are used to prepare the tincture. They contain various naturally occurring plant compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins characteristic of this plant.
Bilberry has long been part of traditional herbal knowledge and woodland diets. Its berries have been valued as a seasonal food, while its leaves have found their place in herbal preparations. The leaves are harvested at a particular stage of growth, often before the berries are fully ripe, when the plant is in a period of active growth.
Traditionally, bilberry leaves have been used during periods when we wish to support the body’s balanced response to everyday demands. They are often included in herbal approaches aimed at supporting metabolic balance and the body’s natural processes.
Bilberry leaves have also been traditionally associated with maintaining balance after meals and supporting the body’s internal harmony. They are often included in herbal routines intended to encourage a more balanced and steady natural rhythm.
Their traditional effects are generally described as gradual and gentle, which is why bilberry leaf preparations are typically used in limited cycles with regular breaks.

Why are bilberry leaves harvested while the berries are still green?
Bilberry leaves are traditionally harvested while the berries are still green, as the plant is at a particular stage of growth when its leaves are full of vitality. During this period, they contain a variety of naturally occurring plant compounds that we aim to preserve in our herbal preparations.
Later, as the plant directs its energy towards ripening its berries, the composition of the leaves gradually changes. This is why earlier harvesting remains an established practice in traditional herbalism.
Can bilberry leaves be used in the same way as the berries?
Not quite. Although they come from the same plant, bilberry leaves and berries have traditionally been used in different ways. The berries are enjoyed as part of the everyday diet, while the leaves are more commonly used in herbal preparations for short, limited periods.
Why do bilberry leaves have a slightly astringent taste?
Bilberry leaves contain naturally occurring tannins, which give them their characteristic slightly astringent taste and a tightening sensation in the mouth. This taste is typical of many woodland plants and is part of their natural composition.
Tannins have an astringent effect, meaning they can cause a mild tightening sensation in the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. In moderate amounts, this is generally well tolerated, but larger quantities or prolonged use may contribute to slower digestion or constipation.
For this reason, bilberry leaves are traditionally used with care – in limited cycles with regular breaks, while paying attention to how the body responds.
