The sword grass or balsam herb, has been used for many years to combat anxiety and depression.
Specifically, it is believed that:
It has antidepressant action
It has anti-inflammatory properties
It is diuretic
It helps in the function of the digestive system
Boosts our immune system
From sword grass, we can also prepare the well-known balsam oil, which greatly helps in skin care, but can even be edible when pure ingredients are used.
Herbs cannot replace medical treatment and you should ALWAYS follow your doctor's advice.
