A teaspoon of the root tincture per cup of hot water will aid stomach inflammation and irritability. Drink the tea between meals.

Throat Aid – Aven's astringency makes it very useful as a mouthwash or gargle in the treatment of gingivitis, halitosis and sore throats. Use 1 tsp. tincture per ½ cup water.
