Depurative, tonic, stimulant.
Common Use: The American
Indian used this herb for liver and kidney trouble and to dissolve kidney
stones. It is rich in iron and other valuable mineral elements and its
blood purifying and system cleansing properties cause it to be used
extensively as a blood purifier. J.E. Meyers, Botanical Gardens of Hammond,
Indiana informs us that watercress is one of the best sources of vitamin
E. This is the fertility vitamin, helping the body use oxygen, which
increases physical endurance and stamina and improves heart response.
Brazilian research found watercress extract to possess potential healing properties

cultures of tubercle bacillus. 15 to 30 drops 2-3 times daily. Avoid
prolonged use in large amounts.
