Wild strawberry, also known as woodland strawberry and Alpine strawberry, is a perennial plant in the rose family that is native to Europe and Asia. In addition to producing edible fruit, the fresh or dried leaf is an excellent tea herb.
Because strawberry leaves contain certain compounds, strong infusions also have topical applications. They may be used as a facial wash or final hair rinse. Both water and oil infusions may be used to make soaps, salves, ointments and lotions.
