| Common verbena should not be confused with lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora, which emit a powerful scent reminiscent of lemon when bruised). | Common verbena should not be confused with lemon verbena ([[aloysia_citrodora_palau|Aloysia citrodora]], which emit a powerful scent reminiscent of lemon when bruised). While the lemon verbena smells and tastes intensely like lemon, the vervain smells rather inconspicuous and contains many bitter substances. "The name Eisenkraut itself can be traced back to the cultic use of this plant: it should be the best remedy for wounds by iron weapons" [[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echtes_Eisenkraut]] |

| "Verbena officinalis has traditionally been used in herbal medicine in Navarra, Spain, in the treatment of topical inflammation. Due to the anti-inflammatory activity of Verbena officinalis 50% methanolic extract in i.p. and topical administration, the effects of several formulations were prepared and studied using carrageenan-induced edema and formalin testing. Piroxicam gel and methyl salicylate ointment were studied as positive control for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, respectively. The edema inhibition of the preparations containing extract at the doses of 1–3% w/w were significantly different from the control group. The anti-inflammatory effect of VO-3% was similar to the effect of piroxicam gel 3 h after carrageenan injection. The analgesic activity of topical preparation with more than 2.5% w/w was observed in the early phase. This activity was observed in concentrations of more than 2% w/w in the late phase. The topical analgesic activity of the extract was less than the analgesic activity of methyl salicylate ointment." [Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of the topical preparation of Verbena officinalis L., M.I. Calvo, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Vol.107 (3), 2006, 380–382] | The aboveground parts, collected while flowering (Herba Verbenae, Verbenae herba) is used as diuretic, expectorant, bitter tonic, and externally to treat various skin disorders and slow healing wounds. Traditional uses are numerous, including the treatment of fever, cough, sore throat, asthma, pain, liver problems and other metabolic disorders. Iridoid glycosides (up to 0.5% d.w.) like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbenalin|verbenalin]], verbenin and hastatoside, and caffeic acid derivatives such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascoside|verbascoside]] (0.8%), are regarded as main active principles. \\ |
