Description
Dried rue (Ruta graveolens) is a potent medicinal herb used in small doses to treat inflammation, digestive issues, and cardiovascular problems due to its high flavonoid (rutin) content. It acts as an antispasmodic, anthelmintic, and sedative. However, it is highly toxic in large doses, causing severe side effects like vomiting and liver damage.
