Lepidium was brought back to Maylis at the end of the 19th century by a missionary returning from Asia.

The monks of the abbey have acclimatized the plant and cultivate it by hand for almost 50 years. With this herbal tea "with a thousand virtues", you can finally take care of your well-being. Over the years, the traditional properties of this rare plant have been confirmed by numerous testimonies.

Taken as a decoction, Maylis herbal tea is beneficial for its purifying value. It participates in the digestive and biliary functioning, renal and urinary. It also has beneficial properties for the skin.


Make sure you drink lots of water when you cure, especially if you choose the "capsules option".


The name Maylis

The origin of the first name Maylis is the place itself and the Marian sanctuary attached to it.

Here is an etymology quite probably false, but beautiful: Maylis comes from May, mother in Gascon, and lily, symbol of purity.
Maylis would therefore mean pure mother, mother of purity and pure souls.
