Mexican Devils Spur

[SuperStarlight]

Hi Everyone

Does anyone know what this herb is used for..I found it at a wiccan store and it looked so cool..but
the lady at the store could not tell me what it's used for.
I googled it for hours and found nothing.

Does anyone know..it's a dry flower type of thing.

Thanks
Starlight

Happy Birthday hope it will be a great day among family and friends.

I have to try to help you then

I found the names for your plant :

Linaria tristis       Spurred Snapdragon  Acicate del Diablo     Devil's Spur  

So even if I found the name itself, I could not find any description for what it is used for.....but hopefully you have more name in your investigation now

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linaria

Where it tells that the family is mostly used as :

Common toadflax is especially valued for its strongly laxative and diuretic activities. Internally it us used in the treatment of edema, jaundice, liver diseases and skin problems. Externally it is used in an ointment to treat hemorrhoids, skin eruptions, sores and ulcers. The juice of the plant is a good remedy for inflamed eyes, though should be used with caution. Dosage is critical and it should not be given to pregnant women, since the plant might be slightly toxic.
