Beneficial Uses of the Herb Vervain

5. Anti-parasitic properties

Although parasites in our meals aren't as prevalent in the Western world as other areas, they aren't completely eliminated. In fact, Vervain is used as an anti-parasitical preparation with meals in many developing cultures. It inhibits the growth of parasites in the gut, as well as prevents parasites from taking up home in your intestines.  Should you find yourself bringing home unwanted souvenirs from travels, Vervain is a chemical-free option for treatment of foodborne parasites. The same expectorant properties that cough sufferers enjoy also apply to the mucus lining of the intestines, flushing out the parasites.
