It is also known to be an effective anti-inflammatory on muscles, joints and tendons.
Verbena is also an antispasmodic for the intestines and the digestive system as a whole.
It is a great help in cases of anxiety, stress, fatigue or nervous breakdown and insomnia.
It is then used as anointing, a few drops diluted in a vegetable oil along the spine, on the solar plexus and wrists.

Precious and quite expensive, it will be mostly used for its action on the energy and emotional levels.
