Description
Yerba Santa, also known as Mountain Balm, Consumptive's Weed, Tarweed, Gum Bush, Bear's Weed, and Holy Herb, is a small evergreen shrub indigenous to the dry hills of Southern California and Northern Mexico. The Native Americans smoked or chewed the leaves of Yerba Santa as a treatment for asthma. In fact, it is still used by herbal enthusiasts for bronchial congestion, asthma and hayfever. There are many benefits to this herb.
Yerba Santa can quiet a nagging cough, help clear the chest of phlegm and relieve congestion due to allergies. Yerba Santa can be used as either a dry herb or extract. To use as a dry herb, mix 1 tablespoon of the herb in 8 ounces of warm water, and drink 1 cup daily. To use as an extract, mix 10 to 20 drops in a liquid daily.
Yerba Santa, which means "Holy Weed," was so named by Spanish missionaries after being introduced to its benefits by local Indian tribes. In addition to its effects as a bronchial remedy, Yerba Santa has also been used as an appetite stimulant, a digestive aid, and as a treatment for hemorrhoids. It was also formerly used as a poultice for sores and acne. Native Americans also used Yerba Santa as an anti-inflammatory and to treat colds, allergies and rheumatism. Recent investigations into Yerba Santa have yielded twelve new flavonoids that showed promise as anti-carcinogens. It is also believed to have chemo-protective properties.
