Rue is indigenous to Europe, but has now acclimatized to the conditions in the United States and is widely cultivated there. This evergreen shrub bears small yellow flowers. The rue has an obnoxious fragrance and has been used to thwart plague and other contagions since ancient times. The fresh leaves of this evergreen flowering shrub called Ruta graveolens L. belongs to the Rutaceae family emit such a horrid smell that people who have smelled it once will remember the scent life long. These dried rue leaves are said to have several therapeutic benefits and have been used as an anti-spasmodic for cramps, a calmative or sedative, and as an emmenagogue that helps in increasing the menstrual flow.
