Therapeutic profile: the root is a strong liver-purifying, hormone-balancing herb, with particular value for skin, arthritic, and glandular problems.

An invaluable help in all cases of female glandular imbalance. The fruit is used in combination formulas for sore throat; used to encourage skin rashes to come to the surface; good for most excess heat conditions including swelling, carbuncles and mumps.
