Wood Betony (Stachys betonica, syn. Betonica officinalis) is a traditional European nervine herb with a long history of use in British and Central European herbal medicine. Its active constituents include iridoid glycosides (aucubin, harpagide), betaine, and tannins that act on the nervous system and digestive tract. In the Western herbal tradition, Wood Betony is particularly valued as a remedy for "tension headaches" and "nervous stomach" — the pattern of digestive discomfort, nausea, or cramping that arises from anxiety or nervous tension rather than a primary digestive problem. It gently tones and calms the nervous system without causing sedation, and has mild hepatic (liver-tonic) properties that support bile flow and upper digestive function. Herb Pharm extracts certified organic Wood Betony aerial parts in alcohol to capture the full iridoid and tannin profile.
