False Daisy Tea (Bhringraj), Eclipta prostrata Dried Leaf, Caffeine-Free Earthy Herbal Infusion, 100 gram

Product Specifications

A Traditional Earthy Infusion

False Daisy (Eclipta prostrata) — widely known as Bhringraj in Ayurvedic tradition and as cỏ mực in Vietnam — is a low-growing herb long featured in South and Southeast Asian plant customs. Brewed from the dried leaf, it makes a clean, caffeine-free cup with an earthy, herbaceous, mildly bitter character. It’s a straightforward, no-hype pantry herb for people who enjoy simple traditional botanicals.

Plant & Origin

It thrives in moist, warm ground across the tropics and subtropics. This listing is the cut-and-dried leaf, prepared as a loose herbal tea — not seeds, a live plant, or a topical product.
