What is Mille-feuille Sommité Coupé used for?
Mille-feuille Sommité Coupé is a natural treasure to support your daily well-being. Renowned for its many medicinal benefits, this versatile plant has spanned the ages and continents, from ancient times to the present day, to become a firm favourite with modern herbalists. By acting on several of the body's systems, it helps restore optimal balance and promotes overall health.
Rich in active ingredients such as flavonoids, alkaloids and phenolic acids, Mille-feuille stands out for its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and haemostatic properties. It is particularly recommended for relieving menstrual pain and digestive disorders. Its calming effects on smooth muscles make it an excellent ally against abdominal cramps, bloating and intestinal spasms.
Yarrow also acts as a circulatory tonic, stimulating blood circulation and preventing varicose veins and venous disorders. Its powerful antioxidant effect protects cells from oxidative stress, contributing to better cellular health and the prevention of degenerative diseases.
Mille-feuille is also appreciated for its anti-infectious properties. It helps strengthen the immune system and fight respiratory infections such as the flu and colds. Its ability to soothe muscular pain and skin inflammation makes it a plant of choice for athletes and people with skin problems.
Externally, Mille-feuille is used to heal small wounds, soothe itching and reduce inflammation. It is therefore particularly recommended for burns, eczema, acne or hemorrhoids. Its hemostatic properties stop bleeding and promote healing of damaged tissue.

Mille-feuille is not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women, or for children under 12. In the event of loss of appetite or persistent digestive problems after 2 weeks, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
For women suffering from menstrual disorders, if symptoms persist or worsen, medical advice is required. Similarly, if wounds show no signs of healing after a week's use, a doctor should be consulted.
Before using Mille-feuille over a long period, particularly for menopause, seek the advice of a health professional. Because of its hormonal effects, any hormone-dependent pathology should be ruled out.
