Description
Hydrangea is also known as Seven Bark. Hydrangea grows up to 9 feet tall, and is found in woodlands and along stream banks in southeastern and central North America. Hydrangeas are marsh or aquatic plants, and hence the name is derived from a Greek compound signifying "water-vessel." The folk name "Seven Bark" was used in reference to the fact that when the bark peels off, it does so in several layers of various colors. The parts of this plant used medicinally are the dried root, rhizome, and leaves.
Cherokee Indians used a root decoction or tea as a diuretic, cathartic, and emetic. They also scraped the bark, and made a poultice for wounds, burns, sore muscles, sprains and tumors. They chewed the bark for stomach problems and heart trouble. A decoction of Hydrangea was also used by early American settlers for calculus. The primary chemical constituents of Hydrangea include glycosides (hydrangin), saponins, resins, rutin, essential oils, and flavonoids. It contains no tannins.
Hydrangea is well recognized in the treatment of inflamed or enlarged prostate glands. This herb is valued for its solvent properties that help break down and prevent further formation of stones and deposits in the urinary system. Hydrangea has been used for hundreds of years in folk medicine to contribute to the elimination of deposits in the bladder and kidneys. It soothes irritated mucus membranes. This herb will also relieve backache caused by kidney problems. For kidney stones, Hydrangea is often combined with Stone Root, Bearberry and Gravel Root. For prostate problems, it combines well with Horsetail and Saw Palmetto.
Indications for which Hydrangea is typically prescribed include frequent urination, accompanied by a sense of burning and sharp, quick pain in the urethra. Other possible symptoms include pain from the irritation of passing renal sand, and aching in the back with irritation and partial suppression of urine.
