Das Seifenkraut -
 The Soapworts
Die Seifenkräuter (Saponaria) bilden eine Gattung in der Familie der Nelkengewächse (Caryophyllaceae). Der Name leitet sich vom lat. sapo „Seife“ ab. Der Inhaltsstoff Saponin (im Rhizom 2–5 %) schäumt in wässriger Lösung (Wurzelabkochung) wie Seife. Das Gewöhnliche Seifenkraut (Saponaria officinalis) wurde bereits im Altertum zum Waschen der Wolle und später auch zur Reinigung von Kleidern mit empfindlichen Farben verwendet. Schon Hippokrates kannte dieses Waschmittel.
Saponaria is a genus of flowering plants in the pink family, Caryophyllaceae. They are native to Europe and Asia, and are commonly known as soapworts. They are herbaceous perennials and annuals, some with woody bases. The flowers are abundant, five-petalled and usually in shades of pink or white. The most familiar species might be common soapwort (S. officinalis), which is native to Eurasia but is known in much of the world as an introduced species, often a weed, and sometimes a cultivated ornamental plant.[1] The genus name Saponaria derives from the Latin sapo ("soap") and -aria ("pertaining to"),[1] and at least one species, S. officinalis, has been used to make soap.[3] It contains saponins, and a liquid soap could be produced by soaking the leaves in water.[1] This soap is still used to clean delicate antique tapestries.
