Acid dyspepsia (heartburn), gastritis; eructation and esophageal burning; stomach ulcers. Aromatic astringent for diarrhea (especially with children). Mild urinary antiseptic indicated in irritation, inflammation and infections of the urinary passage; acute catarrhal cystitis; gleet; prostatic enlargement and prostatorrhea; chronic cervicitis and vaginitis with leukorrheal discharge.
