FALSE UNICORN
[267-1]
Stimulating tonic for reproductive and urinary organs.
Helonias dioica (Chamaelirium luteum).
False unicorn has been used to improve fertility, help prevent miscarriage
and to ease the nausea of morning sickness during pregnancy.
Especially recommended where there is a "heavy dragging feeling" in the
lower abdomen.
As a balancing, regulating herb, it can ease menstrual cramps and
bleeding as well as improve delayed or absent menstruation.
It is also used by men for impotence and prostate problems.
False unicorn supplies rare trace minerals including sulfur, copper, cadmium
and cobalt.
An unexpected benefit is false unicorn's ability to treat worms and other
parasites.
Especially large doses can induce nausea and vomiting
so use with caution during pregnancy.
