Used as a substitute for quinine in treating malaria. Also good for colds, dysentery, diarrhoea, indigestion, flatulence, heat stroke, tuberculosis and as a poultice on abscesses. Often used to treat night sweats. Can be used both topically and internally for bacterial and fungal infections.

It's also a flea repellent. If you have animals, I would consider stuffing their bed with it. Or how about making a nice scented wreath?

Gosh, thanks for all those uses for Sweet Annie! I always leave one or two plants ('trees'!) grow for the fragrance & hoe all the others out. Now I will save more for some of the above uses.
