Rue should not be used for human consumption as it is toxic (at what levels, I
haven't experimented to find out). That said:
Metaphysically, rue is a rather powerful protection plant, offering
protection from ill-will and non-benign entities (stops short of demons, I
believe).
Rue also provides a lovely hair wash with red tints. Being away from my
herbals, I can not guarantee this but: I believe rue also provides a nice
skin softener when macerated in oil.
E-mail me privately, and I can check on more info if you want.
