PURPLE LOOSESTRIFE Lythrum Salicaria: LYTUACEAE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROPERTIES AND USES: Eyes, secretory glands and organs, nervous system. COMMON NAMES: Loosestrife, Spiked Loosestrife, Sage Willow, Purple Willow Herb. PARTS USED: Herb. BODILY INFLUENCES: Loosestrife is a member of the mint family, long esteemed in strengthening the muscular fibers and correction of eyesight. For conditions of clouded vision or restoration of eyesight, prepare an eye wash of 20 drops to 1/2 cup of distilled water and bathe the eyes with an eyecup 2-3 times per day for 5 minutes at a time. Although Loosestrife exerts astringent properties on the mucous membranes, its action is not drying which makes it a valuable tonic for a weakened, over-extended colon and intestine. Purple Loosestrife is especially attracted to the troubled gall bladder, liver and kidneys to function as a tonic and a nutrient to restore them to a strong and healthy condition. NOTE: Chemical companies want you to buy poison and kill Purple Loosestrife as a terrible weed endangering crops. It was pointed out that it only grows near water and can't endanger field crops. Then they said it crowds out aquatic plants, which also support water fowl. The fact is it grows there until the damage done by man can be corrected and then the other naturally occurring plants can return. DOSAGE: 20 to 40 drops per 1/2 cup water as a douche for vaginal infection. 40 drops three times per day for all other uses. SOURCES: Dr. Alexander Greenfield, "Herb Medicinal;" Dr. John R. Christopher, "School of Natural Healing". March 9, 2006: “Tuesday, March 28th began as any other day as I went off to work for hospice as a registered nurse. My vision seemed different to say the least. I've worn glasses or contacts since I was very young. I've also had sinus problems for many years. Too many to count! I haven't always had the best diet, but I have used herbs and nutrition for past health issues. This was one of those times when I thought I could get away with eating and drinking the more mainstream fare. Little did I know of the troubles that were about to ensue. My vision seemed to dim, to say the least, and by mid-afternoon, I knew I had a big problem. I had emergency surgery for a detached retina. I was devastated by the loss of vision. I knew this would be quite a program I was embarking on to clean out my eyes and sinuses. My journey would not be a passage easily remedied for the faint-hearted or average layperson. I would spare no expense to strengthen what I had allowed a surgeon to repair. I started with digestion and chose gentian, along with a bowel program to cleanse and strengthen the bowel. I added E.-W (80 drops 4x/day) to repair both eyes, since eyes are sympathetic. I also took Bilberry, Formula Three, Dandelion Leaf, Purple Loosestrife, Ol' Number 11, Gingko Combination and Protein to strengthen and nourish my eyes. In addition I rubbed Arnica, a drop or two of Peppermint Oil (for oxygenation) and R.S.T.-C on my forehead and on my temples. I also took R.S.T.-C internally (80 drops 3x/day). I also took Vitamin E with Selenium and Vitamins A & D internally and rubbed on externally for oxygenation. I also took digestaids and 'perfect eyes' from Nature's Sunshine. I added Black Cohosh and C.C.E.-W for days when I felt I needed extra help. I rubbed Chickweed around my eye area on days when I felt my vision was cloudy. Finally, I added SI.-W to my herbal program when I realized that sinus problems affect hearing and vision. I have lived in such a fast-paced life for the last several years and am guilty, as is the majority of society, for reaching for convenience. As for my therapeutic program, I knew my diet had to be the very best it could be so my bowel and sinuses would not reabsorb putrefied toxins. I made sure I took in 'real food' and green drink at every meal. This has been a journey I would never have chosen (yet, ultimately I did, didn't I?) and one I won't soon forget. We all have to take responsibility for the roads we travel and why should I be any different. Hopefully, we're paying attention to the signs along the way. Today, my vision is better (I'm legally able to drive with the eye) and I believe it will continue to increase with each day. I've always loved sunrises, sunsets and beautiful flowers. I include nature's scenery daily as part of my healing journey. Life is awesome!!!" --L. Schechter, the sunny banks of Hernando Bch, FL
