Ligusticum :  (Ligusticum levisticum)

Ligusticum is a Chinese herb that is believed to promote circulation and regulates energy.

Also, it is purported to be good for post-natal abdominal pain, painful abscesses, and headaches due to colds.

The ligusticum roots and fruit are aromatic and stimulant, and have been shown to have diuretic and carminative action.

In herbal medicine, ligusticum is used for disorders of the stomach and feverish attacks, especially for cases of colic and flatulence in children.

It’s qualities are similar to those of Angelica in expelling flatulence, exciting perspiration and opening obstructions.

The leaves are eaten as salad, or infused dry as a tea.

An infusion of the root was recommended by old writers for gravel, jaundice and urinary troubles, and the cordial, sudorific nature of the roots and seeds caused their use to be extolled in pestilential disorders (parasites).

In the opinion of Culpepper, the working of the seeds was more powerful than that of the root; he tells us that an infusion 'being dropped into the eyes taketh away their redness or dimness.

Ligusticum is highly recommended to drink the decoction of the herb for agues.

The distilled water is good for quinsy if the mouth and throat be gargled and washed therewith.

The decoction drunk three or four times a day is effectual in pleurisy.

Several species of this umbelliferous genus are employed as domestic medicines.

The root of Ligusticum sinense, under the name of Kao-Pau, is largely used by the Chinese, and in the northwestern United States the large, aromatic roots of Ligusticum Filicinum (OSHA Colorado cough-root) are used to a considerable extent as stimulating expectorants.

Ligusticum is also known as: Ligusticum levisticum, Old English Lovage, Italian Lovage, Cornish Lovage, Kao-Pau
