conditions of liver disorders, irregular and painful menses, as an
emmenagogue it increases milk in nursing moms and relieves mastitis
as well.
It also has very strong healing
properties as an anticancer herb, antiscrofulous (TB of neck lymph
nodes), antispasmodic, astringent, bitter, emetic, emmenagogue,
febrifuge (reduces fever), nervine and stomachic.
Other medicinal uses include congestion, depression, migraines, nerve/back pain, rheumatoid arthritis,
jaundice and gout; and the infusion is used to help pass kidney
stones and for infections of the bladder.
The above ground part of Vervain is used
in a tea for acute symptoms of colds, flu and fevers. For
nervousness caused by liver congestion, anger, shock (all symptoms
