Other traits: Herbal, Edible, Wildlife, Blue Vervain was used for headaches, rheumatism, to increase breast milk and as a "female" tonic. Blue Vervain was also used to help insomnia, diarrhoea, congestion from colds, and as an anti-parasitic. Current research has found many of these uses valid and may also have potential for treating cancer among other diseases. Native Americans would use the roasted seeds to make flour. Blue Vervain is also attractive to bees, butterflies, months and songbirds such as Cardinal, Bunting and Swamp Sparrow.
