Prep notes
Dried root, the bedtime tisane. Smell is the warning. Minerals like other roots; the sleep claim is folklore, not a nutrient. Brewed cup figures vary by leaf amount and steep time; this atlas row is the catalogue entry as sold.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
