Stoneseed

Stoneseed (Lithospermum ruderale (Lehm.) Dougl.) is a Lithospermum species that grows in America. This American Lithospermum is used as a contraceptive by some native people. Gromwell is currently being researched in this direction, too, as it is likely to impede the hypophysis’s (pituitary gland) gonadotropic hormones.

Medicinal Properties

The whole plant is rich in silicon and calcium, as well as mucilage and coloring substances. From ancient times onwards, people used it to dissolve kidney stones. This uricosuric diuretic property (it promotes the elimination of uric acid) dissolves sand in the urine. It can even dissolve a whole urine calculus, especially if uric acid salts form the latter. Herbalists recommend this plant for people suffering from renal colic and gout.

How to use Gromwell

1. Infusion with 50-100 g of seeds and leaves per liter of water. Drink three or four daily cups. In former times, seeds were ingested after having been group up.

Gromwell extract possesses digestive benefits as well. Due to its sour flavor, it invigorates all digestive organs, increasing appetite and promoting digestion.
