Sundew as medicine

topic posted Tue, October 12, 2004 - 11:18 AM by  Unsubscribed
I used to get sundew tincture at the local healthfood store. I'd read it was pretty good against strep.

I haven't seen it for sale for some years. Was it "wildcrafted" to death? Does anyone know of any companies raising crops of sundew for medicinal purposes?

I'd love to know.

    It was thought that it may be a medicine. But fortunately it didn't work that well. This is a good thing, Otherwise the plants would have experienced the habitat and overcollecting problems similar to the fast disappearing native echinaceas.
