| Method Administration | Nowadays, the plant is not used for therapeutic reasons, despite the fact that scientific research is still going on in order to evaluate its potency as an antimicrobial agent. Warning: The use of herb preparations is not recommended without seeking advice from your physician or pharmacist. The substances they contain may interact with the subscribed drugs that the patient already takes, thus eliminating their therapeutic efficacy or inducing toxicity. They may also burden further weakened vital functions of the body thus exposing the patient to increased morbidity and life threatened conditions. |
| Pharmacological Info | A lot of studies have been conducted to prove the antimicrobial properties of the plant, which are attributed to the contained flavonoids.
