LOMATIUM
Botanical name: Lomatium dessectum
Common name: Lomatium
Habitat: Lomatium is a native to western North America. Lomatium is potentially threatened in some parts of its habitat, so it should not be picked from the wild without consulting local experts familiar with the plant. The root of lomatium is used medicinally.
Historic or traditional: Many Native American tribes reportedly used lomatium root to treat a wide variety of infections, particularly those affecting the lungs.
Info: Lomatium is reputed to have antiviral effects
Personal info: I make a tincture with lomatium root; it is very effective in clearing virals.
*in some cases there have been reports of a rash in susceptible people. It is important to use kineseology (muscle testing) before using lomatium to be sure one’s body will want it.
*the safety of this herb during pregnancy and breastfeeding is unknown and is therefore not recommended at this time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with lomatium.
