Euphorbia hirta - asthma weed (forum)

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the uses of this plant, if any. I received a pack of seeds as a bonus in another delivery and don't know much about it.

A closely related plant called Euphorbia peplus is very well known and has some use against cancers mainly on the skin. I have gotten rid of warts by applying the white milky sap onto the wart. An interesting site is www.euphorbiapeplus.com/ It is a common garden weed. I have no experience with asthma weed.

denise, my garden is over-run with these! Not really a problem, as they are very easy to pull up.

I had several small skin cancers on arms and legs, but this didn't really help. I know others have had success.
