According to my Big Book of Herbs, it would cure amoebic dysentery. Also used externally for skin diseases, wounds, ulcers, and herpes. "An astringent herb with a tea-like aroma", apparently.
Now, if this is all Talis's fault.... Andrew, is Kate going to be at any of the coming Far Isles events? May Revel, on the 5th, in particular? I'm running that, so for a select bunch of people, I could try this one out. Talis should be there, anyway. I just need to check I won't actually be poisoning anyone before I give all three of us red hair. (Not that it'll show on Talis)
(Hang on: *that* filk con? It wasn't served there, was it? Only everyone I know who went is now ill!)
