**Alkanet (Alkanna tinctoria)** is a perennial herb with a fibrous, pigmented root that is commonly powdered or macerated in alcohol to make a tincture. It is used mainly as a topical remedy for minor cuts, bruises, and inflammatory skin conditions, providing soothing and anti‑inflammatory effects. Because the root contains naphthoquinone compounds, it should not be ingested, can stain skin and clothing, and people with liver problems or pregnant women should avoid use.
