Parts used- roots I use this decoction whenever nauseated or just as a stimulating beverage. The decoction is used for sleep. Its properties are like valium without the side effects or risk of addiction. Please keep in mind that all herbs should be used with the responsibility. Know when and how much can be ingested safely, and be aware of possible allergies.
