BLUE FLAG ROOT TINCTURE

BLUE FLAG ROOT (Iris missouriensis) used to be preferred for the treatment of syphilis over some more toxic remedies (bismuth, arsenic, mercury) simply because it had a lower likelihood of poisoning the patient! It is a blood purifier, and a strong liver stimulant.  Can be used in low dosages for skin eruptions and constipation.

Other names: Wild Iris, Rocky Mountain Iris
