Ulex europaeus
Family:Ulex europaeus; Bach.
Common name:Gorse
Gorse has never played much of a role in herbal medicine though its flowers have been used in the treatment of jaundice and as a treatment for scarlet fever in children. The seed is said to be astringent and has been used in the treatment of diarrhoea and stones. The plant is used in Bach flower remedies - the keywords for prescribing it are 'Hopelessness' and 'Despair'.
