The Cunila Mariana, or Dittany, is a mild diaphoretic and excitant. It is but little used, perhaps never in regular practice; but in domestic practice it is employed in colds and slight affections, with a view to the induction of diaphoresis, for which purpose it corresponds with the balm, sage, hyssop, etc.
