The herb functions as a stimulant on the gall bladder and liver, enhancing their efficiency. It also supports the spleen, pancreas, stomach, and kidneys. Historically, both Greek and Arab medicinal practices included this herb in treatments for stomach and liver issues. It is beneficial for conditions like oedema, splenitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, stomatitis, and jaundice. By promoting the production of digestive juices such as saliva, gastric juices, and bile, it boosts appetite and aids digestion, accelerating stomach emptying. This herb is recommended when there's a lack of appetite, sluggish digestion, dyspepsia, or flatulence.
It possesses various properties including alterative, anodyne, anthelmintic, antibilious, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, astringent, bitter, cholagogue, diaphoretic, digestive stimulant, hepatic, sialagogue, stomachic, and tonic. Its general toning effect makes it useful in treating debility, anorexia, and exhaustion.
