This formula is useful for lymphatic stagnation, especially congested lymph nodes (often caused by frequent colds, herpes outbreaks, etc.). Additional signs of lymphatic stasis include lymphedema, pasty white scleras, fatigue and chronic infections. This formula can also be used for acne, slow healing of wounds, low resistance to infection, fluid-filled cysts, and lipomas, cystic breast disease and polycystic ovaries (PCOD).* - Winston: Herbal Therapeutics
