• Can be used to help support coughs, insomnia, stomach and intestinal disorders, joint pain and much more.
Bugleweed can be used to help support over-active thyroid glands, palpitations of nervous origin, weak heart, cough, calming the nervous system, insomnia, and mild bleeding of lungs, stomach, intestines, uterus or urinary tract.
The bitter-tasting herb known as bugleweed (or water horehound) has been prescribed by herbalists for ailments that include a hyperactive thyroid, sedative, bleeding from the lungs, and lung health. Various phenolic acid compounds within the herb like caffeic, rosmarinic, chiorogenic and ellagic acids contribute to the sedative, antiinflammatory, astringent, and antitussive qualties of the herb.
General Herb Information
Bugleweed - Carpet Bugle-Weed (Ajuga reptans).
Propagation: By seed, easy germination; by root division in spring or fall.
Nature of Plant: Spreads rapidly by creeping runners; makes a beautiful ground cover for shady spot, rock gardens, edging for flower borders.
Spacing of Mature Plants: 12 inches; eventually they will run together.
Cultural Requirements: Grows in sun or shade, in moist or dry soil.

Bugleweed Lycopos europaeus L.
Family: Lamiaceae.
Other Names: Gypsywort; water horehound; pied-de-loup (French); Gemeiner Wolfstrapp (German); marrubio d'acqua (Italian); manta de lobo (Spanish).
Description: Bugleweed is an erect perennial herb of about 0.5 m in height. It has square stems and opposite pairs of lance-shaped leaves with markedly toothed margins. The small, white or pink, two-lipped flowers are borne in multi-flowered, rounded clusters. L. virginicus is closely similar and can be used in the same way.
Origin: Europe and Asia (L. europaeus); naturalised in North America. L. virginicus is indigenous to North America. Both species are often found in or near water.
Parts Used: Dried aboveground parts (Lycopi herba) of flowering plants.
Active Ingredients: Various phenolic acids (derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acid; caffeic, lithospermic acid and rosmarinic acid) are present. The herb also contains flavonoids (luteolin-7-glucoside and others), tannins, various di- and triterpenes and small amounts of essential oil (bornylacetate, camphene, p-cymol).
Health Effects: Depsides of hydro-xycinnamic acids appear to be responsible for the observed activities. Experiments have shown antigonadotropic and antithyrotropic activities. It lowers the level of prolactin in blood serum. If product use is abruptly discontinued, prolactin secretion may increase.
Status: Traditional health; Comm. E+; clinical studies+.
Preparation and Dosage: A daily dose of 1 - 2 g of the dried herb is taken three times a day as an infusion. Alternatively, liquid extracts may be taken in doses of 5 - 10 drops three times daily. Extracts are included in commercial preparations. Each person has a unique optimum level of thyroid hormones, so that the dose should be adapted to individual needs.
Medicinal Usage
Opinion varies as to the value of bugleweed. Compare the old saw that promises, "He that has bugle and sanicle thumbs his nose at the surgeon," with the view of a modern French herbalist that this is the "most resolutely [medicinally] inactive of plants."
It is generally agreed, however, that bugleweed is more than just a pretty flower. As another of its names, carpenter's herb, suggests, it does have some ability to help fight bleeding and to mend cuts, as do all plants that contain tannin. Bugleweed has also been given to stop lung and other internal hemorrhaging, and herbalists have recommended it for coughs, skin irritations, joint pain, and liver disorders, and to help avoid hallucination after excessive alcohol consumption. Some herbalists believe that bugleweed is mildly narcotic and sedative and may slow the heart rate in the way that digitalis does. Bugleweed's properties other than wound repairing have never been thoroughly researched, however. Bugleweed's species name, reptans, refers to the reptilelike creeping of the plant's runners.
Bugleweed's use in folk approaches for helping support external wounds is probably valid, because the plant contains tannin, an astringent substance that helps to help support bleeding.
General Herb Information
Habitat: Roadsides, fields, lawns.
Range: Introduced from Europe, bugleweed has escaped cultivation and now grows wild from Newfoundland south to Pennsylvania and Ohio, and occasionally west of the Cascade Range.
Identification: A perennial herb growing up to 12 inches tall. Its creeping runners produce rosettes of leaves; the whole structure forms a carpetlike mat. The lower leaves are spatula-shaped and often have wavy edges, while the upper leaves are toothed and elliptical or oval. Small blue to purple flowers (May-July), 1/2 inch across, are borne in dense terminal spikes.
Uses: Many gardeners cultivate bugleweed as a ground cover and in rock gardens. The plant can also be used as a black dye for wool.
European Bugleweed (Lycopus europaeus) *Note: Product is North bugleweed Lycopus virginicus
Bugle in Britain is not the bugle of North herb gardens - there the name refers to species of Lycopus (gypsyweed). The European expectation is of a low creeping, plant making an undulating quilt of shining, ground-covering leaves from which grow spikes of flowers 6 or more inches high on the typical square stem of a labiate. Purple-blue dead-nettle flowers appear in whorls, each whorl supported by a pair of leaf-like bracts carefully placed at right angles to the next.
At close quarters bugle has quiet charm but its particular use is as a foil for other, bigger plants around which it will creep, entirely hiding the soil (which is excellent; soil is a medium for growing plants in, seldom an aesthetic experience in its own right). The wild green form is perfectly acceptable in the garden but the shining, metallic, 'Atropurpurea' is even better, maintaining its colour best in full sun. The beautiful 'Variegata' has marbled leaves of grey-green and white; it is less vigorous and needs at least half-shade if it is not to bleach. All forms enjoy a reasonably moist soil at all times of year - as anyone would guess having met the green one in damp woodland rides.
An early alternative name is mentioned: carpenter's herb, in reference to its supposed ability to staunch wounds from a slipped chisel or saw. Internal bleeding was also so cared for. "The juice of this plant is esteemed good for internal bruises" says Sir John Hill in his Family Herbal, the words hinting that he had not tried it himself.
