Source: Organic
Origin: Australia
It affects the parasympathetic nervous system and has a stimulant action on the uterus. Vervain is bitter and stimulates the digestion, causing vomiting at high doses. The constituent verbenalin, a mild purgative, may be responsible. Used as a tonic for the digestion, vervain improves the absorption of food. Vervain is prized as a restorative for the nervous system and is especially helpful for nervous tension. Vervain is thought to have a mild antidepressant action, and is used specifically to treat anxiety and the nervous exhaustion that follow long-term stress. Convalescence - By aiding the digestion and restoring the nervous system, vervain is an ideal tonic for people recovering from chronic illness.
Vervain alleviates headaches and in Chinese herbal medicine it is used for migraine connected with the menstrual cycle. Vervain has an array of other medicinal uses. Vervain is given for jaundice, gallstones, asthma, insomnia, premenstrual tension, and fevers (especially for the onset of flu). Vervain also helps labor contractions and increases breast-milk production.
