Description
Collinsonia, or stone root, is spicy and sour in taste and possesses properties that are astringent, diuretic, emmenagogue, and alterative. Collinsonia contains saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and resins, and has deomstrated effectiveness for hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and diarrhea.
The main use for collinsonia is the treatment of hemorrhoids. This is because it has the ability to strengthen the veins of the body and thus works directly on strengthening the portal vein of the rectum and varicose veins generally. It is also useful for treating diarrhea.

No, collinsonia is not a form of licorice. Collinsonia, also known as Horsebalm, Stone Root, and Richweed is a native of the eastern United States. The name Collinsonia comes from the genus that includes Collinsonia canadensis, Collinsonia serotina, Collinsonia tuberosa, and Collinsonia verticillata. Collinsonia is a small plant, which features a tall single stalk that carries several honeysuckle-like flowers. The roots, leaves, and flowers of Collinsonia are used in herbal remedies.
Collinsonia is a North American herb that has been used in traditional medicine in the treatment of varicose veins, laryngitis, dysentery, colitis, and various digestive disorders, but its real acclaim is in its use against the formation of kidney stones. It has also been used as a tonic for the cardiovascular system.
