Germander has been tradionally used as a diet aid, a treatment for
light diarrhoea, or locally as an analgesic for oral pain. In 1991, the first cases of
hepatitis associated with the use of these products were reported to the National
System of Pharmacovigilance in France. It is yet uncertain whether contamination
possible by pesticides or fungi, may be implicated or whether these cases result
from toxic or immuno-allergic reactions to constituents of Germander.
