The name soapwort derives from the fact that the stems of this plant, when boiled in water, create a soapy effect. Historically, this plant was used in Europe to clean and finish woolen clothes. More recently, it has been used for cleaning fragile antique fabrics. Medicinally, a decoction from the plant’s roots has been used to alleviate poison-ivy rash and to reduce discolouration of a black eye.
