The whole fresh plant is antiseptic and helps with skin irritations/diseases. It is very beneficial for allaying irritation from insect bites and can also serve as a preventative to being bitten. Because of its absorptive properties, it makes an excellent wound dressing. It is found in wet and boggy spots, preferably on peaty soils, mostly near heather, on mountains, and on moors. Must be dried thoroughly before use.
