For centuries, the herb with the pretty yellow blossom has been used as a medicinal plant. Most often, this naturopathic remedy is used for gynecologic complaints, which is why some people with endometriosis also make use of it. Because of its constituents, the plant has antispasmodic, calming, and anti-inflammatory effects. Menstrual pain and lower abdominal cramps can be alleviated or even prevented with preparations made from Gänsefingerkraut.
There are various forms of administration. On the one hand, pharmacies already carry ready-made medicinal products containing Gänsefingerkraut. Most commonly these are drops that should be taken several times daily for a limited period. The herb is also available as a tea. You need about two grams per cup. After pouring, you should then let the tea steep for ten minutes. If your symptoms are severe, you can drink up to three cups daily. A popular alternative is Gänsefingerkraut milk. For this, pour 200 ml of hot milk over one tablespoon of the tea. After five minutes, you can strain it and likewise drink up to three cups a day.
You should know, however, that you should use this natural remedy only for acute relief and not use it long term. On the one hand, the many tannins it contains will dry out the mucous membranes over time. On the other hand, there are still too few data to support prolonged use. If you tend to have a sensitive stomach, you should also avoid Gänsefingerkraut, as it may contribute to further stomach irritation. To be on the safe side, you can of course always discuss with your physician or your naturopath whether this herbal medicine is right for you.
