Bugleweed fills an important place in eclectic therapeutics. It's action is chiefly exhibited on the vascular structures and the sympathetic nervous system. It is a certain sedative, mild narcotic, sub-astringent and tonic. It's sedative action is most pronounced, and most frequently indicated where the vascular action is tumultuous, the velocity of the pulse rapid, with evident want of cardiac power. It is for this purpose that Bugleweed is principally employed in advance stages of acute disease with great debility, and in chronic disease with frequent pulse.

Bugleweed also improves the circulation, and its good influence is extended to all the parts of the body under the control of the vegetative system of nerves.

Bugleweed may be safely used with nervines such as Skullcap or Valerian. Bugleweed's actions include diuretic, peripheral vasoconstrictor, astringent, nervine, and anti-tussive properties.
