Product Description:
Bistort is known to be among the most potently astringent herbs and is, therefore, employed to constrict tissues as well as to stop bleeding. This herb is also used in the form of an effective gargle and mouthwash to cure spongy gums, sore throats and canker sores. In addition, bistort is also effective in the form of a wash for minor burn injuries and wounds, for use as douches for treating profuse vaginal discharge as well as in the form of a salve to healing anal fissures and hemorrhoids. Bistort may also be used internally to cure ulcerative colitis, peptic ulcers and treat a number of conditions, for instance irritable bowel syndrome that causes diarrhea and dysentery. At times, bistort is employed to treat urinary problems like cystitis, and also upper respiratory congestion. The leaves and roots of this herb were also reputed for their use in treating wounds and stopping hemorrhages.
