Use in Skin Care and Remedies

Although it is an undemanding plant, rhatany cannot be cultivated. For this reason rhatany root is always collected from wild shrubs. To avoid endangering stocks collectors are careful to spread new seed each time they dig up a root.
In Dr.Hauschka Med Sage Mouthwash, rhatany works with tormentil and myrrh to strengthen and firm the gums.
