Fumitory has long been used in the treatment of skin problems
such as eczema and acne. Its action is probably due to a general
cleansing mediated via the kidneys and liver. Fumitory may
also be used as an eyewash to ease conjunctivitis.
Combinations : Fumitory are often combined with Burdock,
Cleavers or Figwort.
Description
Common in Europe and the British
Isles, especially in cultivated fields.
Dosage
Infusion: Pour a cup of boiling water onto 1-2 teaspoonfuls
of the dried herb and let infuse for 10-15 minutes. This may
be drunk freely, but for skin problems it should be drunk
at least three times daily.
