Vervain has been useful to herbal healers for many centuries of recorded history, both in the Europe (Verbena officinalis) and in North America, (V. hastata), yet there is a dearth of human studies with this herb. Vervain’s healing properties are attributed primarily to its bitter and stimulating effect on the liver and other organs, as well as its relaxing effect on the nervous system. Herbalists consider vervain especially helpful when depression is related to chronic illness.
Vervain is useful in many diseases as a pain reliever and antirheumatic used to relive joint pain. Experts recommend using it as a poultice “vervain is good in headache , earache, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc. In this form it colors the skin a fine red, giving rise to the idea that it had the power of drawing the blood outside”.
A warm infusion of either root, leaves or flowers is helpful for colds fevers, throat and chest congestion with headache. Vervain acts as an expectorant to treat chronic bronchitis.
