Stillingia Root

History:

Stillingia Root is a hardy perennial evergreen or deciduous shrub that is native to large portions of the southern United States and also ranges in other warm and tropical parts of the Americas, thriving in pine barrens and other dry, acid, sandy soils in sun or partial shade. The plant bears leathery, three-inch, fine-toothed leaves and yellow-green flowers that may bloom all year in the warmer climates, and the entire plant grows to a height of about four feet. It was once a very popular home therapy with the early settlers in the southern regions of the United States for bowel, bronchial and blood health. It was listed in the United States Pharmacopœia. and in the nineteenth century, the Eclectic physicians who attempted to combine what was effective in conventional medical treatments with what was beneficial in herbal therapies, used Stillingia Root to support lung health. Herbalists also continued to value Stillingia's properties, and modern herbalists still use it for healthy blood (in combination with other herbs), and many other applications. The herb was included in the highly controversial Hoxey Formula, but there is absolutely no clinical proof to confirm its efficacy, and its use is not sanctioned by the medical community. Stillingia Root is a bitter, acrid, tonic herb with an unpleasant odor, and the dried roots are used in herbal preparations. Some of the chemical constituents in Stillingia include volatile oil, acrid resin (sylvacrol), acrid fixed oil, terpenoids (Stillingia factors S1-S8), diterpene esters (phorbol, ingenane, daphnane), stillingine, tannins, calcium oxalate, cyanogenic glycosides and starch.
