Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Sundew Latin name: Drosera rotundifolia Other names: Dew Plant, Lustwort, Red Rot, Youthwort A Remedy For Bronchitis Cough Sundew has been advocated as a cure for old age and is sometimes used in combination with remedies for hardening of the arteries. In folk medicine, it has been used for asthma and warts. However, its effectiveness for any disorder other than those of the upper respiratory system has yet to be verified. What It Is; Why It WorksA protected species in danger of extinction, Sundew ranges from 3 to 8 inches in height. It produces white flowers and has a sour, bitter, hot taste. The plant favors wet, spongy ground in most parts of the world. It has a decongestant effect and relieves bronchial spasms and coughs. Avoid If...No known medical conditions preclude the use of Sundew. Special CautionsWhen taken at customary dosage levels, Sundew poses no hazards. Possible Drug InteractionsNo interactions have been reported. Special Information If You Are Pregnant or BreastfeedingNo harmful effects are known. How To PrepareSundew is available in liquid and solid preparations for internal or external use. To prepare Sundew tea, pour boiling water over 1 to 2 grams (about one-quarter teaspoonful) of Sundew, steep for 10 minutes, and strain. Typical DosageThe customary dosage is 1 cup of Sundew tea 3 or 4 times daily. Use a maximum of about 3 grams of prepared Sundew per day. Since the potency of commercial preparations may vary, follow the manufacturer's directions whenever available. Suzi What is a weed?
