Herb Robert

DSCF2430

In traditional herbalism, Herb Robert is used as a remedy for toothache and nosebleeds. An infusion made from the whole plant, minus the root, has been used for its diuretic and tonic effect and as a remedy for dysentery. It is also used on wounds for healing and to prevent scarring, having both an antiseptic and a styptic effect. Freshly picked leaves have a peculiar odour when crushed, and if they are rubbed on the body the smell is said to repel mosquitoes.

I knew I should have posted the rusty picture instead!!!
