Burr Marigold (Bidens tripartita) has been employed historically for the treatment of fevers, respiratory diseases, urinary tract disorders, renal diseases, and menstrual problems, particularly with excessive bleeding. Many notable traditional herbalists wrote of the effects of Burr Marigold, and it has been used in both Eastern and Western traditional medicine systems over many years. Herbal expert, Maud Grieve, in 1931, notes that the plant was well respected for its astringent and diuretic properties and was an excellent styptic remedy for ruptured blood vessels and bleeding of every description. It is still used in this way to remedy conditions involving bleeding, such as with haemorrhoids or haematuria. Moreover, as Burr Marigold is a systemic antibacterial phytomedicine, it is a crucial herb for resistant bacterial infections (it is effective against a variety of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria) as well as in dysfunction of the mucous membranes and body fluids. For example, any infection accompanied by problems in the mucous membranes would be an ideal indication for this herb. Renowned American herbalist, Stephen Buhner, deems Burr Marigold “one of the great systemic antibacterial herbs”. It is a mucous membrane tonic that is astringent, anti-inflammatory, strongly antibacterial, and is specific for a number of troublesome diseases caused by resistant pathogens. Show more
