Sweet Annie has been used for centuries in Chinese and European herbal medicine to treat painful childbirth and dysmenorrhea. This plant is native to Asia bearing small yellow flowers and feathery green leaves.  It possesses woody, dry and licorice scent. The color ranges from yellow to brown to green and blends well with jasmine, sweet orange, oakmoss and lavender. It is used in aromatherapy to treat menstrual discomfort, headaches, fungal skin infections and fevers. The inhalation of Sweet annie essential oil helps to treat nasal catarrh and congestion.

Sweet Annie is also used for bacterial infections such as dysentery and tuberculosis; illnesses caused by worms, other parasites, and mites; fungal infections; and viral infections such as the common cold. Other uses include treatment of upset stomach, fever, jaundice, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune disorders. It is also beneficial for loss of appetite, blood vessel disorders, constipation, gallbladder disorders, stomach pain, painful menstruation, and joint pain (rheumatism). People with AIDS sometimes use Sweet Annie to prevent an often fatal type of lung infection called pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) that is caused by a fungus.
