Leaves and young shoots are edible raw and it has some history as a wound herb, but is rarely used today.
Makes an excellent groundcover in shady areas. It is aromatic, astringent, bitter and used in homeopathy. Long used to stop bleeding and was used to treat coughs. Usually applied externally, it is commonly used in ointments. Beautiful ornamental and attractive to bees.
