Verbena (Vervain).
Verbena (Vervain) is a
relaxing nervous system tonic which is indicated for a wide
range of nervous disorders including nervous exhaustion,
stress and depression. Verbena (Vervain) is not only effective against depression,
but also strongly supports the detoxifying function of the liver.
Its French
name is still "Herbe Sacre"; an old English name is "Holy Wort"; for Vervain was
one of the seven sacred herbs of the Druids. Significantly Druidic medicine
worked very much upon the psychological background to the disease, attempting to
revitalize the psyche before healing the body.
Today we know that the
antispasmodic qualities of Verbena are largely due to the glycoside verbenalin.
Recent Chinese research has linked verbena with dilation of arteries in the
brain: a likely explanation of its usefulness in treating migraine, especially
when this problem is accompanied by liver congestion. It is certainly indicated
for hysterical, exhausted, or depressive states.
Verbena (Vervain) has long
been credited with magical properties and was used in ceremonies
by the Druids of ancient Britain and Gaul. Verbena is a
traditional herbal medicine in both China and Europe. Dioscorides in the 1st
century AD called verbena the ‘sacred herb’. It is used to relieve mild stress and
anxiety and is an ideal tonic for people recovering from chronic illness.
