Pulsatilla

Has anyone ever heard of Pulsatilla. I read in a University of Maryland report that it helps with
burning after urination. I tried it and it seems to help.

Pulsatilla is a homoeopathic remedy, and dangerous if consumed in anything more than tiny amounts. From wikipedia:

Pulsatilla is highly toxic, and produces cardiogenic toxins and oxytoxins which slow the heart in humans. Excess use can lead to diarrhoea, vomiting and convulsions,[4] hypotension and coma.[5] It has been used as a medicine by Native Americans for centuries. Blackfoot Indians used it to induce abortions and childbirth.[4] Pulsatilla should not be taken during pregnancy nor during lactation.[6]

Extracts of Pulsatilla have been used to treat reproductive problems such as premenstrual syndrome and epididymitis.[6] Additional applications of plant extracts include uses as a sedative and for treating coughs.[6] It is used as an initial ingredient in homeopathic remedies,[6] which don't have toxic effects of other remedies because the ingredients are diluted with water until no molecules of the initial substance can be found in a typical quantity
