Fumaria has been traditionally used as a laxative and diuretic, and as a treatment for dermatologic conditions such as eczema. Limited evidence suggests that it may be beneficial in hepatobiliary disorders, and F. officinalis is approved in Germany for colic pain.
It promotes the flow of bile (cholalogue and choleretic) in cases of indigestion, flatulence, constipation, slow digestion or spasmodic pain. Fumitory also has dermatological properties. It is anti-infectious and traditionally used against skin disorders, including eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
