Johan Kunzle wrote about the hedge bindweed plant: “We have to give Thanks to God since He literally put at our feet such a precious remedy as this.”

Healing Properties and Indications

All parts of this plant, especially the root, contain tannin and a resinous glycoside (convolvuline), similar in chemical composition and properties to that obtained from the jalap root. It has purgative, cholagogue, and choleretic properties.

As a laxative, it acts energetically but does not produce irritation or vomiting. It is recommended for acute constipation. This plant can be administered to children.
As a cholagogue, it eases the evacuation of the bile and is recommended for liver inflammation or congestion and in disorders relative to gall bladder emptying.

Field Bindweed

Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) is smaller (as its name says) than greater bindweed; however, it has practically the same properties.

Palo de Rosa

In the Canary Islands, two endemic species of the convolvulus genus are locally called Palo de rosa (Convolvulus floridus L.). The essence obtained from their roots has practically the same medicinal properties as those of the hedge bindweed plant.
