Who's heard of scoparia dulcis?
    #22396138 - 10/18/15 01:10 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I heard this plant is quite a medicinal herb (scoparia dulcis), the reason I was looking into it was it's supposed baldness curing properties, I'm only fairly young and I'm just starting to go through the old hair line creeping back haha it's in my family and was going to have a crack at getting into it as early as possible.

And know there is at least one plant to cure or help anything so I'm hoping this will be the ace I can have up my sleeve. Also if anyone has any knowedge of this plant and any of its other names I'd love to know about it and it's other medicinal properties!

Looking forward to seeing what you guys have to say as I can't really find a lot of info about it...

Much love!!

I read through a few articles about it. I have never tried it but apparently it has a sweet licorice taste. What I did see, is that it has some antioxidant properties. there was one (paper) I read the abstract of, that talked about the possible role of the plant helping with (lipid oxidation in the brain of diabetic(rats)).

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC533881/

I couldn't find more info on it being used to treat thinning hair. I saw numerous references for it being used to help Diabetes, and hypertension, and having some anti-cancer properties.

Oh cool thankyou so much! This is exactly the stuff I was looking for! Seems to be quite an interesting plant. Apparently it's used throughout the Amazon for various ailments but I can't find any solid information on this claim, but know it's used in India like this paper says, which is very interesting.

I'd love to track down seeds or a cutting so I could conduct some research myself. (Nudge nudge to any shroomerites that's can possibly point me in the right directiion).
Thanks again buddy...

There is a range of info on this page about chemistry, uses
http://www.drugs.com/npp/sweet-broomweed.html#ref12
We can't help you with tracking some down as source and vendor discussion is against EG rules.

Uses

Sweet broomweed has been investigated for its antimalarial, antiulcer, antipyretic, and aphrodisiac activity as well as for its cytotoxic activity against cancer cells.

History

Scoparia has been used as a remedy for treating diabetes mellitus in India and hypertension in Taiwan. Traditionally, the fresh or dried plant has been used as a remedy for treating stomach ailments, hypertension, diabetes, inflammation, bronchitis, hemorrhoids, and hepatosis, and as an analgesic and antipyretic agent. 1 , 4

A hot water infusion and/or decoction of the leaves or whole plant is used medicinally by indigenous tribes of Nicaragua to treat malaria, stomach disorders, menstrual disorders, insect bites, fevers, heart problems, liver disorders, and venereal disease. It has been used for blood cleansing, as an aid to child-birth, and as a general tonic. 3

The herb is used in Brazilian folk medicine to treat bronchitis, gastric disorders, hemorrhoids, insect bites, and skin wounds. The herb is used in Asian medicine to treat hypertension. 5

The ethnoveterinary use of the plant dates back to 1889 in Trinidad as a topical lotion to treat impetigenous and herpetic eruptions. Many of the indications for the plant's use parallel those practiced in veterinary folk medicine. Mucilage is released when the whole plant is soaked in water, thus helping to protect and regenerate normal cells; it may also act as an immunostimulator. The plant has been used to treat skin rashes in Martinique and Trinidad, for irritated skin in Brazil, and as a multi-ingredient preparation for treating burns in eastern Nicaragua. In Paraguay, the plant is used to kill lice and fleas, and used against vermin. The plant is also valued for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antiviral activity. 6

Much appreciated! Oh jeez I didn't know it that rule applied for leagal material, my apologies I'll have to go through and freshen up on the forum rules again... But thank you very much for more information! Thought I'd heard its use in Brazil somewhere.
