Internally, good for urinary tract irritability. Lizard Tail/Swamp Root good for kidney stones. Anemopsis tincture, especially combined with kava, sedates sharp pain. Does not help with interstitial cystitis. That is aggravated by any type of plant acid. Lots of mallow helps. Trying to treat it as a UTI makes it worth.
Use topically for strains and arthritis. Good gum tonic. Good for nasal spray. Good for sore throat. Topical antiesthetic, anti-microbial, stimulates mucus secretions.
