Collinsonia is a native of the eastern United States and Canada, and is a small plant that features a tall single stalk, carrying several honeysuckle-like flowers. The roots, leaves and flowers of Collinsonia are used in herbal remedies that have included hemorrhoids, varicose veins, benign prostatic hypertrophy and chronic laryngitis. It has a long history of use as a remedy for diverticulosis, dysentery, colitis, rectal pain and other disorders of the digestive system. However, because Collinsonia is a strong diuretic, it has most often been used in the reduction of urinary sediment in order to prevent kidney stones. It has been used in combination with Gravel Root and Hydrangea for this purpose. Collinsonia has also been used as a general cardio-tonic and is often combined with Saw Palmetto to aid in the treatment of prostate trouble.
