Salad Burnet
Sanguisorba minor
Scientific Summary
Salad Burnet (Sanguisorba minor) is an herbaceous perennial plant with edible leaves and small white flowers that is often used both as a salad green and for its medicinal properties. It is traditionally employed to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and support digestive comfort, thanks to its mild anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Due to limited safety data, it should be used in moderate amounts; high doses can cause stomach upset, and it is best avoided during pregnancy or when taking anticoagulant medications.
