Used to treat Eczema. It worked and is still used by Anon. It is prepared in the following way:"leaves boiled in water, strained, & liquid used to bathe rash."Anon has used this remedy since the 1950's and learned of it from a Gypsy in Brynamman, Carmarthenshire, Wales when they were 3 years old. Anon has told friends about this remedy and has also passed the knowledge to the Ethnomedica project so that it can be safeguarded for future generations. (ref:90H)
Please note that reference to a plant by the Ethnomedica project is no guarantee of its safety or efficacy. Please consult a suitably qualified practitioner before taking herbal medicines.
