Dried and cut Willowherb, here Epilobium parviflorum also called Fireweed or Small-flowering Willow Herb, is a medicinal plant for herbal tea against disorders of prostate, bladder, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract. Treatment tolerance is excellent and very few patients complain of side effects.
Fireweed is prescribed in the treatment of an increase in size of the prostate (also called benign prostatic hyperplasia, benign enlargement of the prostate, adenofibromyomatous hyperplasia or benign prostatic hypertrophy) and urinary problems. It reduces the number of nighttime urination, improves the force of the urinary stream and its flow. It combats inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) and also has an anti-cancer action (Maria Treben). It has been noted that some patients with prostatic problems respond better to a treatment with nettle roots.
The Willow herb contains mucilage, hence its use as an astringent and emollient, both in cases of diarrhea, urinary tract infections and respiratory diseases. You can also use the tea as a gargle to relieve inflammations of mouth and throat.
This herb does have many traditional uses but its medicinal uses have long not been published. It was first mentioned by the famous Austrian Herbalist Maria Treban. Since her book people have started to take notice and the scientific community is begining to study the benifits the herb holds for humans.
