I would like to know if you David or Richard has heard about any anti-inflammatory properties of the Lycopodium (Clubmoss) plants. I have met a women who claimed it is one of the most anti-inflammatory herbs traditionally used (even better the St-John's wort) , but I never have come upon any scientific information, nor have I found any other person who knows plants well that could validate this. Thank you!

it was used extensively in Homeopathic medicine and the Eclectics also used it for; Specific Indications and Uses.—Intractable forms of fever, not of an active type, showing obscure periodicity, with afternoon exacerbation, and the voiding of a high-colored red urine, staining the clothing; dyspepsia and indigestion with the same urinary symptoms, or with red, sandy deposits in the urine, palpitation, constipation, borborygmus, and water brash; spasmodic retention of urine in children; cystic catarrh in adults, with painful micturition; urine loaded with mucus or blood, or both, or deposits of red sand or phosphates; cough with bloody expectoration, congestive headache, dizziness, and tendency to fainting. There is some animal research suggesting it may have some anti-inflammatory activity, but also reports of hepatotoxicity
