Amoracia rusticana
Hardy perennial herb well known for its deep roots which are harvested in winter and grated to make horseradish sauce. The leaves are also edible in salads though extremely hot, and the seeds can be sprouted and eaten.
The plant also has many therapeutic uses, including as an antibacterial. It can be used internally for urinary tract infections, kidney stones, fluid retention, cough, bronchitis, achy joints (rheumatism), gallbladder disorders, sciatic nerve pain, gout, colic, and intestinal worms in children. Externally it can be used on painful and swollen joints or tissues and for minor muscle aches.
The leaves can be made into a tea to spray on plants to control fungal diseases. Full sun or part shade, moister soil preferred. Height to 70cm.
Certified organic plant.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
Kahikatea Farm cannot take any responsibility for any adverse effects from the use of the plants or a plant not having the effect it is reputed to have.
