My mother bought be a Rue plant. I've researced it online and can only find passing refrences to it being medicinally used as an anti-spasmodic.

Can anyone help me find info on the culinary, medicinal, magical, and cosmetic uses of rue?

Katanya, Is this the plant ?

Interesting !

Oh my!

One of the links you posted is a forum argument about whether Rue is poisionous or not. If fact, the only thing that anyone agrees on is that it shouldn't be eaten by pregnant women...but the reports on it are drastic...some say they eat it all the time, others say that it can kill you.

I dunno if I should try it now or not!
