Extract of Wild Indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) root in ethanol and purified water.

Historically, the root of wild indigo was used by European herbalists to treat ulcers and several types of infections, including those affecting the mouth and gums, lymph nodes, and throat. Wild indigo is rarely used alone. Instead it is used in conjunction with other herbs, such as echinacea and thuja in the treatments of colds and flu. The root contains alkaloids, which may contribute to its medicinal actions. More recently and in part due to research which has shown that it can stimulate the immune system, it has been used as a complementary aid in the treatment of common colds, sore throats, infections and influenza. It has also been found to be of benefit in the treatment of infections of the ear, nose and throat. It can be helpful as a treatment for laryngitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and catarrhal infections of the nasal and sinus passages. Traditionally, when wild indigo was used for the treatment of infections in conjunction with echinacea and myrrh. If it is a lymphatic problem, then typically it will be combined with a cleaver and poke root.There has been some use of wild indigo as a systemic treatment for enlarged and inflamed lymph glands and also to reduce fevers. It can help to heal ulcers in the mouth, gingivitis, and help in the control of pyorrhea. Traditionally, wild indigo has also been used to heal skin ulcers and ease sore nipples as an external application.
