If I remember correctly, iris root can at least be made into an antiseptic wash. But I don't know what kind of iris is suitable (I have yet to take the course in medicinal plants. Looking forward to it though!)
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

....So much pharmacology owes it's beginnings to plants
Let's see now, Iris germanica var. florentinia is the plant you need which (according to Wiki is the plant you originally posted?)
Constituents: Essential oil (0.1-0.2%) comprising mystyric acid (85%) and methyl myristate; oleic acid; ketone; irone* which develops on drying and storage; resin, tannic acid; starch; sugars.
Uses: (dried root stock) Stomachic; diuretic; aromatic; weak expectorant. Formerly used in mixed remedies for the treatment of chest complaints such as bronchitis and asthma. The fresh juice was once used a a powerful purgative. It is now rarely used even in folk medicine.
Used as a bitter flavouring in certain liqueurs. Widely employed as a violet scent in the perfume industry, and as a fixative in pot-pourri manufacture. May also be used in some tooth powders or dusting powders.
Contra-indications: Fresh root stock may be violently purgative. Large doses of the powdered root stock cause vomiting. The powder may cause allergic reactions
