Health Benefits of Woundwort
This plant has a long history of use in herbalism, and as the common name implies it was regarded as very good for dressing cuts and other wounds. The herbalist Nicholas Culpeper said that it was ‘inferior to none’ as a treatment for injuries, and in the seventeenth century John Gerard held the plant in very high esteem, and used it extensively. Woundwort is reputed to cure aching joints when made into an ointment and to have antispasmodic and sedative properties when taken internally. A tea made from the flowers 'is used to make the heart merry, to make a good colour in the face, and to make the vital spirits more fresh and lively.'
The leaves and flowers make great additions to salads.
Honeybees and bumblebees also like to visit the flowers of Woundwort.
