Blephilia Ciliata

Scientific Summary

Blephilia ciliata is a perennial herb of the mint family that grows in moist, shaded woodlands. It is traditionally used internally to relieve digestive discomforts—such as bloating, indigestion, and gas—and externally to soothe skin irritations and inflammation. Use caution if you have a known allergy to mint family plants; avoid large doses and consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications.
