Traditional Uses: Traditionally used in European and North American folk medicine as a tea or poultice to purify the blood, treat respiratory conditions (whooping cough, asthma, bronchitis), and for skin ailments like eczema, psoriasis, and wounds.
Potential Benefits: May help reduce hot flashes and improve menopausal symptoms, and modestly improve lipid profiles (lowering LDL cholesterol), though evidence is mixed and benefits are generally modest.
Warnings: Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding; use caution with hormone-sensitive conditions (breast, ovarian, uterine cancers, endometriosis) and blood thinners (may increase bleeding risk).
