Plants We Used to Use 325. Pale toadflax

In moderation, flowers and leaves of Pale toadflax (Linaria repens) can be eaten, dried or fresh. The plant's young shoots can also be cooked. Toadflax is said to be a strong purgative and diuretic, so infusions were recommended for jaundice; liver/skin conditions and scrofula.
