Yerba Mansa, wonder herbal supplement

The plant is native to southwestern North America and has expanded been used by Native Americans and Hispanic settlers, who gave it the name meaning “calming herb.”

As a medicinal aid it has some similarities to goldenseal. It’s been used to treat toothaches and sinus infections. It is plus an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, and is said to be useful for various postpartum treatments.
