Adonis Description

Adonis - Adonis is named for the ill-fated Adonis of legend. The usable medicinal substance is harvested from the dried, above ground portion of the Adonis plant while it is in full flower. Adonis is used for treating cramps, fever, menstrual disorders, and for water retention problems.  Some uses include those with heart conditions. Some listings show it as a remedy for an irregular heartbeat and for a weakened heart. Effectiveness is unproven but animal testing has shown a tonic effect has been achieved on damaged veins. Adonis should only be taken in a dry, standardized powder form.
