Family:Drosera peltata; Alterative; Anodyne; Blood tonic; Carminative; Rubefacient; VD.

The plant is anodyne blood tonic and carminative. It is used in India in making gold bhasma which is antisyphilitic alterative and tonic. The crushed leaves with or without salt have been used as a blistering agent. This can be of value as a poultice since it brings more blood to the area and helps speed the clearance of toxins in arthritis and rheumatism.
