Botanical Name: Euphorbia peplus
Radium weed is also known as petty spurge, milkweed, and cancer weed. It is a small annual garden weed common throughout Australia. It has branched stems with alternate oval leaves, the yellow flowers are inconspicuous, and the stem when broken oozes a milky corrosive sap. The sap is the useful part of this plant, being used to burn off sun spots.
Historically, it has been used for treatment of warts, corns and skin cancers and indeed, there is an ingredient in the sap that does cause regression of such skin lesions.
The milky sap can be applied to sunspots for 2-4 days. You do not need a lot of the sap just a drop on the area to be treated. The site will fester and be quite unsightly, followed by a scab, then fresh pink skin. Fresh aloe gel can be applied to aid healing.
Avoid contact with the eyes and internal membranes. The sap is corrosive and will burn sensitive soft tissues.
Growing Conditions:
Self seeds readily throughout the garden, will grow in poor soils and difficult positions, but grows better in a well watered position in sun to semi sun. It is crucial to grow it in a spot where it has a chance to self seed, such as a large pot or a good spot in the ground with good soil. This ensures the plant can propagate itself and maintain a consistent presence in your garden.
In South East Queensland it grows better through the cooler months, in cooler southern states it will grow through summer.
