A Bitter herb primarily used to aid digestion and help liver complaints and flatulence.
It is considered a good tonic for the mind and useful for those who have overindulged in work, drugs, or alchohol.
The antibiotic properties in the leaf and root are brilliant to treat hardening of the arteries and liver damage as well as increasing the 'flow' of cholesterol.
As a headache cure though, it is extremely effective.
A simple tea decoction is all that is required and it's action has been likened to aspirin.
