Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Herb Robert, Old Shaston Road In traditional herbalism, Herb Robert is used as a remedy for toothache and nosebleeds. An infusion made from the whole plant, minus the root, has been used for its diuretic and tonic effect and as a remedy for dysentery. It is also used on wounds, having both an antiseptic and a styptic effect. Freshly picked leaves have a peculiar odour when crushed, and if they are rubbed on the body the smell is said to repel mosquitoes. Herb-Robert is a sprawling plant well-known for its strong disagreeable mousy smell and its cheerful bright pink flowers. This odour is referred to by the local names stinking Robert and stinky Bob. In folklore it is the plant belonging to the mischievous house goblin Robin Goodfellow (the name Robin is a diminutive of Robert). |
