Healing Properties
Goats rue contains saponins, tannin, a bitter component, flavonic glycosides, an alkaloid (glargine), and glycoquine (plant insulin). Its three main indications are the following:
- Galactogenic – According to Font Quer, goats rue has been proven to increase milk production in cows from 35 to 50 percent. It also renders good results for breastfeeding women; however, not so spectacular. This plant does not produce any side effects on babies.
- Diuretic – With a mild, well-tolerated effect.
- Hypoglycemic – According to recent research, goats rue decreases the level of glucose in the blood of people who have diabetes, though these results are too variable. It is recommended to administer the plant under medical supervision.
Warning
Only use dry plants, since when fresh they can have irritant effects.
How to use Goats Rue
- Infusion with 20 to 30 grams of dry leaves and flowers per liter of water. These leaves and flowers must have been gathered when the plant was still blooming. Drink two cups daily, which can be flavored by adding a teaspoonful of anise fruit to the infusion.
