What is ajuga used for?
Bugleweed (Lycopus europeus ), also called ajuga , is a perennial herb with many traditional uses, ranging from suppressing coughs, to improving symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). While relatively disease resistant, Ajuga, also known as bugleweed, occasionally gets sick. The three most common diseases are crown rot, powdery mildew, and nematode root-knot disease. Fungi cause crown rot and powdery mildew and can be prevented with proper plant spacing and aeration.Understanding the Safety of Common bugle One of the key reasons Common bugle (Ajuga reptans) is a popular choice in many gardens is its non-toxic nature. Whether you’re planting it in your garden beds or using it as ground cover, you can rest assured that this plant does not pose any risk of toxicity to humans.
