Description
Figwort is highly astringent and contains saponins, which have a specific anti-haemorrhoidal action. Figwort root can be taken in teas, combined with laxatives for piles associated with constipation. In folk medicine, figwort was used to stop haemorrhages and taken internally for severe bruising.
Figwort creams and ointments made from leaves and root are widely available. The external use of figwort eases the discomfort and pain of piles, and it can be used for perineal tears after childbirth.
Figwort, also known as "lesser celandine", is an excellent example of the medieval Doctrine of Signatures, which reasoned that the appearance of plants indicated their actions. The roots of Figwort are full of tiny nodules which resemble a severe case of piles so the plant was recommended as a remedy for haemorrhoids and given its common name. It is still used in this way and can be extremely effective. Figwort flowers in early spring, but is low growing and soon dies back - although it can be invasive, it is well worth encouraging in the garden for the color it brings early in the year.
