Speedwell was once highly regarded in England as a health tonic and was also used as a relaxing tea. It was traditionally used in folk medicine for treating respiratory, gastrointestinal, nervous, arthritic, rheumatic, liver, renal, and urinary conditions. Speedwell tea has also been popularly used as a blood cleansing agent, digestive, appetite stimulant, to induce perspiration and reduce a fever. Externally, speedwell tea has been used to promote the healing of wounds and abrasions. Recent studies have shown Speedwell may be an effective preventative treatment for ulcers.
Tea from flowers, leaves or plants can be made using boiling water. Infuse for approx.10 minutes, cover during infusion to keep the aroma inside. Infusions from the roots, wood or bark should be added to cold water and left to soak for 12 hours, then slowly heated for approx. 10 minutes and then strained. Always sip these infusions slowly. Always seek medical advice from a qualified herbal practitioner or doctor before using medicinal herbs.
