Soft‑Dried Ash Leaf

Soft‑Dried Ash Leaf
£1.20

Anti‑Inflammatory & Antioxidant Forage

Tender ash (Fraxinus excelsior) leaves, hand‑harvested young and air‑dried until supple. Naturally loaded with flavonoids and gentle tannins, this single‑herb forage soothes achy joints, tones gums, and brings a fresh woodland crunch to every hay pile.

🌿 What’s Inside & Why It Helps

  • 100 % dried ash leaves – absolutely nothing else.

    • Anti‑inflammatory & analgesic compounds help calm sore joints and ease recovery after exercise PMC

    • Flavonoid antioxidants fight free‑radical damage for bright eyes and glossy coats Science Direct

    • Mild astringent tannins tighten gum tissue and can aid bladder comfort in rabbits and guinea pigs Bunny Meadow, The Domesticated Rabbit

Soft‑drying keeps each leaf flexible, locking in flavour without turning brittle.
