A dittany compress was thought to help expel foreign substances from the body, and dittany was also prized as an aphrodisiac. It was believed to induce abortions in early pregnancy, to ease the pain of childbirth, and to reduce the severity of menstrual cramps. Dittany was also commonly used to treat snakebite.
