This native herb has been described as a tonic for nerve pain, imbalances and strengthening for weakened constitutions such as fibromyalgia and RSDS, . It can also be used in a poultice for sprains, bruises, and wounds for pain. It was used as a toothache remedy by early Aboriginal Peoples. If applied to a cotton ball and put by the aching tooth the tincture relieves the pain deep down into the tooth. It is helpful for fear and anxiety, shock, grief or stress and building appetite. It can be used for early onset depression.
