Asphodel is a remedy for deep cleansing and purging. This is an excellent flower essence to use when there is a sense of being tainted, unclean, contaminated or poisoned in some way. Heat is also associated with this essence so links into the bodies ability to cleanse itself through heat, fevers, sweating. It can also be used when we feel that we are the victim of another's negative projection.
In scientific literature, the plants of the genus Asphodelus that can potentially be used in oral medicine are Asphodelus tenuifolius and Asphodelus microcarpus (ramosus and eastivus are synonyms). The extracts of both plants have an antibacterial activity especially against the Staphylococcus aureas (responsible for stomatitis and tonsillitis), with an antifungal activity against Candida.

This study is a quantitative analysis of the distributional behavior of Asphodelus microcarpus in relation to the main environmental factors. Its abundance was estimated in 40 stands covering most of the apparent physiographic and edaphic variations in an area extending about 500 km along the western Mediterranean coast of Egypt. In each stand, the number of shoots of A. microcarpus was.
