Blue flag, Iris versicolor, is often used as a detoxifier and a strong laxative. It has also been applied to joints plagued by rheumatism. It can cause vomiting and should be avoided by pregnant women. Long term use is not recommended.

Used to bring money to the person who wears it, blue flag is thought by many to be a powerful magickal herb.
