In clinical research, many of the vervain’s chemicals were documented with biological activities.
Iridoid glycoside is found in several of the plants of the Verbenaceae genus. It is a powerful antioxidant phytochemical which has been documented as an antiviral, antibacterial, neuroprotective, liver protective, cardioactive and anti-tumorous effect.
The plant is also known to be a laxative, abortive, diuretic, and sedative to lessen spasms and relieve the central nervous system.
WARNING: Do not drink this tea if pregnant!
