By Thomas Davidson
-
An indigenous plant, common in all parts of the United States, and which, where it is abundant, perfumes the air for a considerable distance. It is employed in the same cases as the mints and the English pennyroyal. In popular practice it is used as an emmenagogue. The Oleum Hedeoma (Ph. U. S.) or Oil of Pennyroyal is used as a stimulating carminative, dropped on sugar. Dose, 2 to 6 drops.
