I bought an herbal product not realizing that it had five herbs in it that I wasn't familiar with. Help, what are their basic uses? It contains fresh red root, fresh thuja leaf, blue flag root, fresh baptisia root and prickly ash bark. I can't find them in any of my books.Red root is a common name for New Jersey tea, Ceanothus americana. The leaves of this plant that are used medicinally for their astringent and expectorant properties. It has been used externally as a skin and mouth wash and for vaginal infection. Internally it may be used by herbal medical practitioners for infection of the spleen.
