Japanese Knotweed (Dried)

Japanese Knotweed - Polygonum cuspidatum
 
The more I get to know this plant the more I fall in love with her.  I first knew her as a Lyme herb, and she is marvelous, especially when used in combination with other herbs. She is so much more, being used more and more in combination with other herbs for tumors and such.  This beautiful herb is very high in Resveratrol, anti-tumor. Anti-inflammatory (think Arthritis pain)  and heart-protective effects.  Also liver-protective, crucial for breaking down and flushing out harmful substances.
If you are suffering from stomach issues, such as constipation, bloating, cramps, this plant is very helpful.  Resveratrol displayed the ability to restore the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, isn’t that just amazing??
