Bugleweed

Bugleweed is used for insomnia, nervousness, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Bugleweed is used in cases of mildly overactive thyroid, a condition which often leads to nervousness and insomnia. Bugleweed also relieves tension and pain in the breast.

Do not use Bugleweed if you have thyroid insufficiency, if you are taking any thyroid medications, or if you will be undergoing any diagnostic tests that employ radioactive isotopes. High doses of Bugleweed can lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland. Suddenly stopping use of the herb can make the problem worse. Do not use Bugleweed if you are taking any thyroid medications.
