Rue

Rue, scientifically known as Ruta graveolens, is an herb originally from the region around the Mediterranean. It has been used for centuries in various traditions, including herbal medicine. The leaves and stems of the rue plant have a strong scent and can be used both fresh and dried in various applications.

Traditionally, rue is used for its aromatic properties and as a natural remedy in home treatments. In animals, such as dogs, chickens, and horses, rue is sometimes added in small amounts to their diet or as part of herbal mixes. It is often praised for its potential role in supporting digestion and as an insect repellent.

While rue may offer benefits, caution is advised when using it, especially in animals. It is important to ensure proper dosing, as too much rue can have undesirable effects. It is always advisable to consult a veterinarian before adding new herbs to the diet of pets or farm animals.
