Keywords
Blood purifying, expectorant, anti-inflammatory. Good for chronic skin diseases, especially eczema, psoriasis and asthma/eczema. Also inhibits bacterial growth. Is effective against coughing, bronchitis, and it is detoxicating in rheumatism.
Its oestrogen-like effect makes it well-suited for menopausal problems caused by dwindling levels of oestrogen: hot flushes and dry mucous membranes. The effect on hot flushes, however, is questionable. Used as a relaxing drug and to reduce appetite.
