Note: Most of the Sida acuta we purchase is now grown on a small farm here in upstate NY. Grown with love and without chemicals, the radiant Sida plants we process from this fertile farm are high in quality and plant constituents. We also import some Sida from Cameroon or Ghana when needed. The taste of the Sida can be a little different depending on the source, growing conditions, soil type and overall environment. But be assured all are excellent sources!
Origin: USA and Africa
About: Also known as Country Mallow, and Wireweed. Sida leaves are considered sweet and cooling. The leaves prepared as tea or extract have a history of supporting the circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, nervous, and urinary systems along with strengthening and supporting the body systems overall. Sida also assists in the body response to irritation and inflammation, especially when heat is involved.
The plant itself is pretty tough as the large wiry roots grow quite deep, grasping the soil and stones where it grows, making it difficult to pull the plant from the soil. It can easily take over an area to establish itself. Plants that thrive in this way can be wonderful allies for humans as pathogens and other challenges come our way.
We encourage you to check out more of Sida acuta’s beneficial actions that we are unable to list due to FDA regulations. This plant is here to help us in so many ways!
