The herb is also much employed for problems in the urinary and eliminatory systems, especially for mucus problems. It is helpful to when blood is in the urine and for incipient edema, although it doesn't rank with other herbs, such as parsley, for established edema. It is said to gently loosen the bowels, although a decoction of the plant can be used for chronic diarrhea. It is good for hemorrhoids when taken internally. It has been employed for gravel in the kidneys and for kidney infections generally. It can be used for water retention, although its persistent use over a long period of time can cause kidney irritation (Moore:1 14). The phosphates in the plant increase urine acidity (Ibid). The plant is said to influence the secretions of the body generally, especially influencing bleeding. Most sources agree that it is an excellent and safe styptic. It is said to check internal hemorrhages, taken as tea internally, as well as applied externally as a wash for external bleeding. Even if a patient is spitting blood, the hot infusion can remedy the trouble. The herb has been taken to control excessive menstrual flow. 100% vegetarian capsules.
