- | "The plant grows commonly in waste and on ruined sites. It has a peculiar odour likened in Australia to that of a male goat and hence its name 'goat weed' or 'billy goat weed'. | ||

- | The essential oil obtained from plant has been reported to have a powerful nauseating odour and found to be poisonous to rabbits due to the presence of HCN and coumarin. The herb is not eaten by humans except for medicinal purposes, but in some cultures, it is a delicacy for domestic guinea-pigs, | ||
- | The weed has been known since ancient times for its curative properties and has been utilized for treatment of various ailments, such as burns and wounds, for antimicrobial properties, for many infectious conditions and bacterial infections, arthrosis, headaches and dyspnea, pneumonia, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, | ||
- | The water soluble fraction of the plant extract produces peripheral analgesic activity and an anti-inflammatory action, which seems to occur in leucocyte-dependent inflammatory events. Silva et al ., investigating the effect on smooth muscles using isolated rat uterus and intestine smooth muscles, concluded that the fraction possesses substances, which provoke direct relaxing effect on smooth muscles and inhibit contraction induced by several agonists possibly by blocking the entry of calcium and/or inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterase. These pharmacological characteristics could explain the popular use of AC to alleviate abdominal and menstrual pains." | ||
