Teucrium Scordium

Water Germander: Indigenous. N. O. Labiates.

This herb has been found of some use in America in the treatment of haemorrhoids - being used both internally and locally. For the latter method of treatment an ointment is made by mixing one part of the finely powdered herb with nine parts of vaseline or fossiline.

One fluid ounce of the liquid extract is equivalent to one ounce of the herb ; dose : 1 to 2 fluid drachms of fluid extract.
