History and Uses:
Blue Flag is a hardy perennial found in the marshes of central and eastern North America. The plant was used extensively by Native Americans to treat everything from earache to cholera. Blue Flag has a wide application in the treatment of skin diseases, apparently aiding the skin by working through the liver, the main detoxifying organ of the body. It may be used in skin eruptions, such as eczema and psoriasis. The herb is also valuable as part of a wider treatment program: Blue Flag may be used where there is constipation associated with liver problems or biliousness. Blue Flag is a positive alternative for chronic conditions, because it influences the glandular system, lymphatic, liver and gall ducts, as well as intestinal glands. It is also useful for treating hepatic congestion due to venous or lymphatic stasis. Specific indications include chronic hepatitis and rheumatic conditions, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, herpes), enlarged thyroid gland and uterine fibroids.
