Decoction is useful for bladder and kidney complaints, and has the ability to curdle milk (hence its other name, 'cheese rennet'). One amazing property of this plant also is its ability to repel flies and other insect. Just keep a container full of it on your picnic table and you will never have to worry about pests when guests sit outdoors at the table!
