Sweet Woodruff Herb Also known as Galium odoratum, Hay Plant, Wild Baby’s Breath, Bedstraw, Sweet Grass, Star Grass, and Woodruff. Introduction Sweet Woodruff is an herbaceous mat-forming perennial native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. Sweet Woodruff grows 6-12 inches white flowers in partial to full shade that typically bloom in April or May. The plant has a sweet, hay-like fragrance derived from coumarin. Constituents A number of species in this genus contain asperuloside that can be converted into prostaglandins (hormone-like compounds that stimulate the uterus and affect blood vessels), making the genus of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Parts Used Leaves and flowers Typical Preparations The aromatic intensity of woodruff intensifies when it is dried, making it a popular addition to sachets and potpourris. Sweet woodruff plants have also been used commercially in perfumes. The leaves are used to flavor teas and cold fruit drinks. The flowers (usually fresh) are used in the preparation of May wine (called Maiwein or Maibowle in German), which is a punch made from white wine flavored with woodruff, orange and pineapple and sweetened with a little sugar. During the Middle Ages, sweet woodruff was widely used as a poultice for wounds and cuts and taken internally for digestive and liver problems. In modern day herbalism an infusion is used for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory effect. Summary Sweet Woodruff has a long history of herbal use. It has been used throughout the ages to treat ailments including liver problems and jaundice. Teas from the leaves are still used for stomach aches. The coumarin content of sweet woodruff can produce headaches and other toxic effects if large doses are consumed. Precautions Sweet Woodruff should not be taken internally in large amounts due to a minor toxicity which may produce headaches.
