From Herbal Descriptions by Truman Berst: #3182 SQUAW VINE (Mitchella
repens) This herb is often used for both menstruating and pregnant women.
The Native Americans used it in the last few weeks of pregnancy to prepare
for childbirth. Squaw Vine is used for menstrual irregularities (amenorrhea,
dysmenorrhea, and menorrhagia) and for vaginal discharge (antiseptic properties
for vaginal infections). It is tonifying to both the uterus and ovaries
and helps to relieve congestion. Other uses include: dropsy, gravel, suppression
of the urine, diarrhea. It has a calming effect on the nervous system
and may improve digestion. As a salve, it may be applied to sore nipples
while nursing. Other external uses include as a wash for skin problems.
