Provides the Indian kidney tea,
grows in Indo-China, the Archipelagus and Australia. The leafy stems are
similar to those of peppermint, ending in a pseudo-spicule built up from
whorls.
The pale blue flowers reach out a
long way, with long thin tubes growing horizontally and long stamens pouring
from the flower in the same direction. The tea prepared from the plant contains
etheric oils, tannins, a glycoside and a high proportion of potassium salt; it
acts against mineralizing processes in the metabolic sphere, against uric acid
diathesis. Kidney and bladder stones, inflammatory rheumatism, gout, even
arteriosclerosis and diseases of the liver and gall bladder are treated with
it. But above all it supports the kidney process, and is considered a good
remedy for disorders of the kidney and bladder, the early stages of contracted
kidney, chronic inflammation of the kidney, the formation of gravel and stones
in the kidney, haematuria and albuminuria. This labiate carries warmth
processes with a solvent action, which like the ego organization hold the
balance between inflammation and hardening, into the kidney region, the organ
of Venus. It is interesting that this medicinal plant has its habitat in the
region inhabited by a race which physically shows a particularly strongly
developed kidney process, so that one might call it the "Venus race”.
