The European vervain (V. officinalis) is listed in the PDR, and mentions a variety of folk uses ranging from relief for sore throat, coughs, asthma, whooping cough, treatment for nervous disorders, digestive disorders, and to promote lactation. It is not to be taken during pregnancy, as it is a uterine stimulant. Blue vervain, or V. hastata was used by Native Americans for colds, coughs, fevers, bowel complaints, dysentery, and stomach cramps.
